description: Tribe Ischyrosonychini Chapuis, 1875
Remarks. This tribe is assemblage of three groups previously considered as distinct tribes: Asterizini, Ischyrosonychini and Physonotini. BOROWIEC (1995) suggested that all three should be united because of lack of synapomorphies based on adult characters and used the name Ischyrosonychini as the valid name. BOROWIEC (1999a) also considered the three taxa synonymous, however, used Physonotini as the valid name because Ischyrosonychini were based on a genus that was a junior synonym of Eurypedus Gistel, 1834. However, Physonotini Spaeth, 1942 was proposed after 1930 without description or bibliographic reference to such description thus being unavailable (ICZN 1999: Article 13.1) and therefore the name was recently changed again to Ischyrosonychini (BOUCHARD et al. 2011).
Ischyrosonychini are superficially similar to Cassidini and are quite difficult to define and separate from the latter tribe based solely on adult morphology. ŚWIĘTOJAŃSKA & WINDSOR (2008) discussed their position based on larval morphology and concluded that Ischyrosonychini possessed features characteristic for primitive (generalized) tribes of Cassidinae s. str. while Cassidini were considered as derived. The head of adult specimens of Ischyrosonychini is more similar to Goniocheniini or Omocerini as the head is distinctly transverse with small eyes situated in front of the mouthparts, while Cassidini have circular head, mostly with large eyes. In addition all Ischyrosonychini have simple and quite long tarsal claws and the ultimate tarsomere is somewhat longer than in most Cassidini and as a result they are capable of faster movement than most of Cassidini. Also the larvae of Ischyrosonychini move more rapidly than those of Cassidini (L. Sekerka, unpubl. observation).
Two genera, Orexita Spaeth, 1911 and Aidoia Spaeth, 1952, currently classified in Cassidini, have a strongly transverse head with small eyes and similar structure of tarsi as Ischyrosonychini and I transfer them to the latter tribe. The affinity of the two genera to Ischyrosonychini as well as affinities of the genera within the tribe should be verified by molecular data. The genera of Ischyrosonychini can be recognized using the key below.

Effects of mesenchymal stromal cell-conditioned media and hypoxia on wound closure by keratinocytes

description: Chronic, prolonged, non-healing wounds remain a significant burden to patients, healthcare professionals, and the health care system.  The hypoxic environment in such wounds is one of the major factors in the failure of cellular processes that normally repair damaged skin to form a scar.  It has been suggested that human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) may be used to promote the healing of chronic wounds.  However, the effect of hMSCs in hypoxia is unknown.  This study aimed to develop an in vitro system to investigate the effect of hMSC-conditioned media (hMSC-CM) on wound closure by keratinocytes. Keratinocytes, the major cell component of the epidermis, play a significant role in dermal wound closure. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) has been reported to interfere with hMSC-derived products; therefore, the effect of serum concentration on keratinocyte proliferation and wound closure were first investigated. It was found that 1% v/v serum could be used with no adverse effects on keratinocyte proliferation.  Keratinocytes (HaCaT) were grown to confluence and a scratch was used to create a model wound.  The effect of a hypoxic environment (1% v/v O2 in the gas phase), in conjunction with hMSC-CM, on scratch wound closure was measured. The results suggest that hypoxia decreases wound closure rate by keratinocytes. Furthermore, hMSC-CM and 10 fold concentrated hMSC-CM increases wound closure rate under hypoxia by 18% and 36%, respectively. This suggests that hMSC-derived products could be beneficial in wound healing under prolonged hypoxia, such as in chronic wounds.

On the social epistemological nature of questions
Creators: name: Kwon, Hannah
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: If “information” is a central concept for library and information science, then “questions” are fundamental, for information “informs” relative to the question.  But research focusing on questions as a central theoretical concept has been stymied by the paradox of the question, which observes that in order to ask one must know enough to know what one does not know (Flammer, 1981).  This dissertation proposes that this paradox results from the limitations of the cognitive approach to questions as indications of individual information need, and that the paradox can be resolved by reframing questions as social epistemological tools of inquiry within knowledge domains.  The questions posed by three knowledge domains – neuroscience, literature, and computer engineering – on the common topic of “memory” are analyzed in order to investigate how the domains’ question formulations compare and what the comparisons convey about how to answer and the assumptions upon which question and answer are constructed.  A method is developed for identifying the implicit questions that motivate and organize scholarly inquiry by analyzing dissertation abstracts as knowledge products of inquiry.  The comparative question analysis of neuroscience, literature, and computer engineering dissertations’ question formulations about “memory” supports the proposition that knowledge domains ask different questions and ask them differently.  What they ask, the content of their questions, communicates the indeterminate epistemic situation that each domain has of memory, while the mode of presentation of the question, its form, conveys the epistemic structure of inquiry and the production of knowledge.  A social epistemological model of domains’ question formulations is developed that proposes that question content reflects domain ontologies, question form reflects domain epistemologies, and determinations of question relevance reflect domain sociality, which model has implications for document relevance, question negotiation, information retrieval design, and inquiry-based learning.

Rational design of molecular gelator -- solvent systems guided by solubility parameters
Creators: name: Lan, Yaqi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Self-assembled architectures, such as molecular gels, have attracted wide interest among chemists, physicists and engineers during the past decade. However, the mechanism behind self-assembly remains largely unknown and no capability exists to predict a priori whether a small molecule will gelate a specific solvent or not. The process of self-assembly, in molecular gels, is intricate and must balance parameters influencing solubility and those contrasting forces that govern epitaxial growth into axially symmetric elongated aggregates. Although the gelator-gelator interactions are of paramount importance in understanding gelation, the solvent-gelator specific (i.e., H-bonding) and nonspecific (dipole-dipole, dipole-induced and instantaneous dipole induced forces) intermolecular interactions are equally important. Solvent properties mediate the self-assembly of molecular gelators into their self-assembled fibrillar networks. Herein, solubility parameters of solvents, ranging from partition coefficients (logP), to Henry’s law constants (HLC), to solvatochromic ET(30) parameters, to Kamlet-Taft parameters (β, α and π), to Hansen solubility parameters (δp, δd, δh), etc., are correlated with the gelation ability of numerous classes of molecular gelators.  Advanced solvent clustering techniques have led to the development of a priori tools that can identify the solvents that will be gelled and not gelled by molecular gelators.  These tools will greatly aid in the development of novel gelators without solely relying on serendipitous discoveries.

I collected 78 specimens from LF samples. No drop present between the buccal and pharyngeal tubes. Three rod-shaped macroplacoids, microplacoid and septulum (as specimens studied by Ramazzotti and Maucci (1983)) within the pharyngeal bulb, but I observed one specimen lacking the septulum in the pharyngeal bulb as Pilato (1974) and Ito (1995) did for this species. Cuticle bars, when present, appeared in the inner zone of the internal double-claws and/or between external and internal double-claw of the first three pairs of legs. Mean body size was 754 μm (SD 254), range 418 to 1496 μm. This species is considered cosmopolitan. In the Iberian Peninsula, it has been recorded for Spain (Rodríguez Roda 1946, 1952; Maucci & Durante Pasa 1984). It is the first record for Madrid (Table 2).

"The young women here enjoy a liberty"
Creators: name: Lee, Katharine Diane

description: This dissertation examines women's access to and participation in the community life of Philadelphia in the decades surrounding the American Revolution.  It argues against the application of separate spheres to late-colonial and early national Philadelphia and proposes that women were heavily integrated into nearly all aspects of the city's public life.  Women from diverse backgrounds were actively involved in commerce, politics, protest, intellectual and legal debates, social institutions, wartime developments, educational advancements, and benevolent causes.  They saw themselves and were viewed by their peers as valuable members of a vibrant and complex city life.  If we put aside assumptions about women’s limited relationship to the public sphere, we find a society in which women took advantage of a multitude of opportunities for participation and self-expression.  This project also examines the disparity between the image of the ideal housewife and the lived experience of the majority of female Philadelphians.  Idealized descriptions of Revolutionary women present a far more sheltered range of options than those taken advantage of by most actual women.   This dissertation also challenges the traditional periodization of women’s history from the late-colonial through the early national periods.  Rather than seeing the Revolution as an aberration in women’s access to the public sphere, this project demonstrates that women drew on pre-war experiences as they participated in revolutionary protests and conflicts, and then carried those lessons into the first decades of nationhood.  Revolutionary rhetoric and social changes may have accelerated the rate at which female opportunities proliferated in the early 19th century, but those trends were already beginning in Philadelphia in the 1760s and 1770s.  Women relied on past experience as they worked to expand the boundaries of their world.  While it was not a fully linear progression, women’s participation in the public sphere developed and increased from the 1760s through the 1840s: the way contemporaries understood women’s place within local and national communities changed and women grew to far greater prominence by the antebellum period, but those developments were deeply rooted in the mid-to-late 18th century female experience, which was one of involvement and participation, rather than separation and limitation.

description: The abundance of existing ecological data allows for many opportunities of data synthesis and derivation of novel research. In wildlife management research, the compilation of data gathered by multiple sources throughout a species' range allows for more comprehensive assessments of species distribution than if individual datasets are used. We demonstrate the utility of using an aggregate occurrence dataset compiled from disparate sources to model the regional distribution of northern diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin terrapin), an imperiled species facing a suite of anthropogenic threats, across their northeastern and mid-Atlantic U.S. range. The model results identified suitable habitat for nesting terrapins throughout the study area and provide a platform from which management questions can be addressed at multiple scales. We provide examples of model applications, including identifying areas for protection, assessing areas where terrapins are at high risk of road and crab pot mortality, and evaluating loss of habitat due to sea-level rise. The techniques and analyses utilized in this study can be readily applied to conservation planning for other wide-ranging species.

description: Mucus is a viscous bodily fluid composed of mucin proteins, inorganic salts, and water. MUC5AC and MUC5B are the two mucin proteins that makeup airway mucus. Elevated levels of MUC5AC can indicate certain diseases, like asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Current treatments for mucus-associated respiratory diseases include using enzymes and chemical agents to clear mucus buildup. These existing treatments are limited in their ability to selectively target specific mucin proteins within mucus. Our research aims to select DNA aptamers that bind to MUC5AC or MUC5B, within mucus samples. We are optimizing a One-Pot SELEX or in vitro selection methodology previously used by other researchers to select aptamers against MUC16. Selected DNA aptamers with high binding affinity and specificity can detect airway mucin proteins and deliver engineered proteases to cleave and destroy them.

description: Asteriza tortuguilla (Zayas, 1989) comb. nov.
Plagiometriona tortuguilla Zayas, 1989: 148 (original description).
Type locality. Cuba, Guantánamo Province, Tortuguilla.
Remarks. ZAYAS (1989) described this species based on series of 17 specimens and placed it in the genus Plagiometriona Spaeth, 1899 without any additional comment supporting the placement. He also provided a figure, which does not look like any of the Plagiometriona species. The collection of Zayas is in possession of his family and is currently inaccessible. Mike Ivie (Bozman, Montana, USA) was able to examine the collection and kindly provided a photograph of the holotype of P. tortuguilla. Based on the photograph and the primary description I hereby transfer the species to the genus Asteriza.
ZAYAS (1989) reported Rochfortia steliata Bon [sic!; = Rochefortia stellata Britton & P.Wilson] belonging to the family Boraginaceae as host plant of P. tortuguilla. SEKERKA & WINDSOR (2012) summarized host plants of Plagiometriona and doubted that the record is valid assuming that P. tortuguilla truly belong to this genus as Plagiometriona is exclusively associated with various Solanaceae. The present transfer of P. tortuguilla is supported by the feeding association with Boraginaceae as recently the same plant family was reported as host of Asteriza flavicornis (Olivier, 1791) (ŚWIĘTOJAŃSKA & WINDSOR 2008).
Distribution. Cuba: Guantánamo (ZAYAS 1989).

Three essays on financial fragility and regulation
Creators: name: Li, Yang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: My academic work explores issues in banking, prudential regulation, and financial fragility. In my first paper, I study how changes in the returns on banks’ assets affect financial fragility using a model in the tradition of Diamond and Dybvig (1983). In my second paper, the analysis is based on this work augmented to include fiscal policy and bailouts as in Keister (2015). I explore how imposing regulations on both sides of banks’ balance sheets can be used to bring about a stable financial system. My third paper further explores the policy implications of my second paper by incorporating the comparative-statics effects studied in my first paper.    What configuration of interest rates will make the banking system most susceptible to a self-fulfilling run? In Chapter 2, I study this question in a version of the model of Diamond and Dybvig (1983) with limited commitment and a non-trivial portfolio choice. I show that the relationship between the returns on banks’ assets and financial fragility is often non-monotone: a higher interest rate may make banks either more or less susceptible to a run by depositors. The same is true for changes in the liquidation cost and the term premium. I derive precise conditions under which changes in each of these returns increase or decrease financial  fragility.    In Chapter 3, I analyze a version of the Diamond-Dybvig (1983) model of financial intermediation in which bailouts create multiple distortions. Banks anticipate that the policy maker will respond to a crisis with transfers that partially cover their losses, which leads them to hold a more illiquid portfolio of assets and to offer higher payments to depositors who withdraw early. These actions, in turn, tend to make the financial system more fragile. In general, fully correcting these distortions requires restricting both banks’ choice of assets (i.e., liquidity regulation) and their short-term liabilities. However, I show that removing the policy maker’s ability to impose liquidity regulation can sometimes promote financial stability.    Chapter 4 studies how the changes in the liquidation cost influence the optimal policy mix.  The main result is that implementing a regulation similar to the liquidity coverage ratio is optimal if the liquidation cost is very high. It is optimal to remove the liquidity requirement, in contrast, if the liquidation cost is lower.

"Mapping the margins [in mathematics]"

description: Much extant research on gender in mathematics education has fallen short in distinguishing between gender and sex as well as attending to intersections of gender with other dimensions of identity such as race (Damarin, & Erchick, 2010; Esmonde, Brodie, Dookie, & Takeuchi, 2009; Rubel, 2016).  Future work, therefore, is needed that couples a conceptualization of gender as a social construct with intersectional analyses to detail how the racialized masculinization of mathematics shapes differential opportunities for success among marginalized students (Leyva, accepted).    Drawing on post-structural theory and intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1991) from critical race theory, the purpose of this dissertation is to examine the gendered and racialized intersectionality of mathematics experiences among historically marginalized women of color and Latin@s pursuing math-intensive STEM majors at a large, predominantly white university.  The following research questions guide this dissertation:  1. How has gender been studied in the field of mathematics education?  2. What strategies do historically marginalized women of color employ in navigating these gendered, racial, and intersectional discourses in making meaning of their mathematics success at intersections of gender and race?   3. In what ways do institutional structures and interpersonal relationships (both in and out of mathematics classrooms) afford or limit opportunities for mathematics success among undergraduate Latin@ engineering students?     Addressing these questions informs future directions for undergraduate mathematics education and higher education more broadly.  This includes ways in which undergraduate mathematics classrooms and STEM support programs can serve as institutional spaces where gendered and racialized discourses of mathematics ability are taken up and challenged.  In particular, this work’s intersectional insights guide the development of relational mathematics instruction and sustained forms of institutional support to better address academic and social needs of STEM students marginalized at different intersections of identity (e.g., Latin@ women, queer people of color).
Integrating security and privacy protection into a mobility-centric internet architecture

description: The Internet is a well-noted technological success that has significantly impacted the dissemination of information and brought human society closer together than it ever had been. While many of the initial design choices associated with the Internet led to its successful rise to prominence, the Internet was not designed to face many of the challenges that have emerged in the modern era in which people access information while on the move from anywhere, at any time. Notably, one of the primary hurdles challenging the continued success of the Internet is the security of the communications crossing the Internet.    In order to address the challenges facing the evolution of the Internet, several clean-slate future Internet architectures have been proposed, each attempting to address certain aspects in which the Internet needs to evolve, and each with varying advantages. Across all of these different architectures, there remains a need to examine and address fundamental aspects related to ensuring the security of these architectures. This thesis examines several of the key security challenges facing several of the emerging future Internet designs, and specifically explores aspects related to securing the MobilityFirst future Internet design. In particular, one of the core contributions of this thesis is a thorough exploration of aspects related to securing new naming services intended to support more dynamic associations between users, their names and their network addresses. This thesis provides a thorough exploration of the protocol-level security challenges facing the administration of new name resolution services that separate names from network addresses, and further examines the possibility of using such a name resolution service as a mechanism to apply access control in the future Internet. A further contribution of this thesis is the exploration of security services for mobile ad hoc networks and the Internet of Things, which represent two important and emerging network modalities that will become part of the future Internet.

description: Additional file 1. Results of fluorescence quenching of RpfB by bis(4-thiocyano-3-nitrophenyl)metanone (IV). Results are shown in the Stern-Volmer plot and in the modified Stern-Volmer plot (inset). The steady-state fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of RpfB protein were recorded at room temperature on the RF-5301PC fluorimeter (“SHIMADZU”, Japan) in 3×3 mm path length quartz cuvette; slit widths 1.5 mm (excitation) and 3 mm (emission). RpfB protein (25.6 μg/ml) was dissolved in 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.0. The fluorescence emission spectra were recorded under excitation 280 nm [10]. The calculated accessibility of tryptophan residues for bis(4-thiocyano-3-nitrophenyl)metanone (IV) was close to 71 %, corresponding to interaction with three tryptophan residues out of five.

Effects of mercury on phylloplane fungi
Creators: name: Malcolm, Katalin

description: The work described in this dissertation is linked by the common theme of how mercury (Hg) influences phylloplane (leaf surface) fungi.  Hg is a highly toxic global pollutant of ecological and biological concern.  Leaves sequester Hg and serve as a vector of Hg deposition to the forest floor.  Phylloplane fungi are exposed to atmospheric Hg and are primary drivers of litter decomposition.  However, it is unknown how Hg influences the fungal phylloplane community.  This research contributes to current knowledge of ecological effects of Hg from the novel perspective of the fungal phylloplane community.     Chapter 1 examined the effects of Hg deposition on the fungal phylloplane composition of living leaves.  The fungal community was analyzed by culturing epiphytic fungi directly from leaves and using morphological and molecular techniques to identify cultures.  It was determined that a single, low-dose Hg application did not significantly affect the fungal community over time.    Chapter 2 investigated how fungal phylloplane cultures grew in the presence of Hg.  The results indicated the effect was species specific. Some species exhibited changes in absolute growth but growth trajectories were not affected.  A model was utilized to predict how the species would grow at increased Hg levels to identify which species would be sensitive or tolerant to increased Hg exposure.  When the cultures were grown in pairwise interactions, Hg enhanced the competitive abilities of some species.  The results indicate that Hg can affect growth of individual species, which could potentially affect community composition.   Chapter 3 analyzed decomposition of Hg treated leaves in a low Hg contamination site.  The leaves exposed to ambient levels of Hg decomposed more in absolute mass than the control or the four times ambient treatment.  Although fungi are primary drivers of decomposition, there was not a correlation between the fungal community on decomposing leaves and decomposition.    Collectively, this work demonstrates that Hg did not have an effect on the fungal community on living leaves or was a strong influence on litter decomposition at a low-contamination site.  Hg can affect growth and competitive interactions of phylloplane fungi, but the effect is species specific.
