Oceania Fantail Ray
Taeniura lessoni Last, White & Naylor, 2016f: 387, Figs 8–12. Holotype: CSIRO H 7724-01. Type locality: Landoro Passage off Uepi Island, Marovo Lagoon, Solomon Islands.
Local synonymy: Trygon halgani Lesson, 1829: 100 (Port Praslin [=Lambom], New Ireland). Taeniura lymma — Müller & Henle, 1841: 171 (New Ireland); Günther, 1910 (in part): 495 (New Ireland); Munro, 1958: 114 (New Ireland). Taeniura lessoni —Last et al., 2016f: 392 (Kokopo, East New Britain; Kavieng, New Ireland); Last et al., 2016a: 605 (PNG); White et al., 2018: 258, figs (PNG).
PNG voucher material: (2 spec.) MNHN A 7994 (2 spec.), female 147 mm DW, male 148 mm DW, Port Praslin, New Ireland, 1822-1825.
Remarks: First recorded from PNG by Lesson (1829) who described it as a new species, Trygon halgani, based on material from Waigeo, Indonesia and Port Praslin [=Lambom], New Ireland. Since the illustration and description in Lesson (1829) highlights the blue stripes on the tail, which T. lessoni lacks, T. halgani is considered a junior synonym of T. lymma. Underwater photographs from Kavieng district (New Ireland) and off Kokopo (East New Britain) confirm this species from PNG.

Microfluidic continuous flow immunoassay for autonomous measurement of inflammation markers in a native sample stream
Creators: name: Sasso, Lawrence A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: A microfluidic device is presented which fully automates all of the incubation steps of a microbead immunoassay. The device requires only controlled inlet flow rates to achieve this automation, and has no moving parts. These assays are useful for a wide variety of biomolecular quantification applications. Additional benefits of the micro-immunoassay are small sample volume requirements, high sampling rate capability, continuous monitoring, and the potential for real time monitoring of time-varying sample concentrations. The continuous monitoring feature has specific clinical applications such as studying the time course of inflammatory biomarkers in the blood during mechanical circulatory support procedures, and studying the inflammation response in cerebrospinal fluid following spinal cord injury. It has also been shown that multiplexed quantification on a single micro-immunoassay chip is possible. These unique features will enable a variety of new functionalities for clinical diagnostics and laboratory research as compared to existing assay techniques.

Remarks: First recorded from PNG by Ogilby (1888) from ‘southeastern New Guinea’. Previously thought to be widespread, but recent description of T. lessoni (see above) suggests T. lymma is replaced by T. lessoni in at least New Ireland and New Britain; more research required to determine whether these two species co-occur in any areas.

description: Hipposideros caffer (Sundevall 1846)
This species was recorded at nine sites throughout Mozambique. Hipposideros caffer and H. ruber (below) were not recorded sympatrically although there are no obvious ecological differences in the habitats selected by these two species within Mozambique. Further survey work is needed to determine whether their distributions overlap in northern Mozambique. Peak echolocation frequencies of two individuals were recorded at 145 kHz (ANABAT), which is similar to the peak echolocation frequencies recorded in South Africa (142.6 kHz — Schoeman and Jacobs, 2008; Monadjem et al., 2010).
Field measurements: FA (adult male) 45.9 ± 1.55 (44.1–48.7, 13); Bm (adult male) 7.4 ± 1.21 (6.0– 9.5, 12); FA (adult female) 46.6 ± 1.50 (44.1–47.8, 6); Bm (adult female) 6.5 ± 0.50 (6.0–7.0, 3).

description: My dissertation explores how Iranian feminists are mobilizing new discourses andcreating dynamic transnational networks, enabled in part by cyber and print cultures. Iinvestigate the ways in which Iranian feminist praxis consequently disrupts and reframesthe putative opposition between secularism and Islam, and the multiple binariesassembled through this opposition—democratic versus authoritarian; liberatory versusoppressive; egalitarian versus patriarchal; and modern versus backwards. Within a multimethodological and interdisciplinary framework, I examine three sites of Iranian feminist activism. I consider the One Million Signatures Campaign, a grassroots feministmovement that emerged in Iran in 2006, which utilizes Islamic human rights discoursesand grassroots, democratic practices to engage the state in reforming family law. I alsoinvestigate the transnational network structure of the campaign, reflecting on theparticular praxis offered by campaigners in the Iranian diaspora. Finally, I examine thewritings and reception of Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi. As a Muslim, feminist and human rights activist, Ebadi emphasizes the compatibility of Islam with humanrights, thereby disrupting discourses that counterpoise them. Considered together, these three sites of Iranian feminism destabilize Western hegemony over Iran, consolidated through discourses which pit “superior” liberal democracies over “backward” Islamic nations. This oppositional staging gains purchase through geopolitical relations of power, including some iterations of global feminism,which deploy neocolonial saving and rescue narratives in the name of women’s humanrights. Concomitantly, transnational feminist theory, which has destabilized thenormative authority of Western hegemony and global feminism, can also often reify thevery power relations it seeks to critique. By emphasizing the dangers, limits, anddilemmas of transnational feminist work, transnational feminist theory can neglectcritical feminist projects on the ground, effectively writing some women out of history.My dissertation considers how Iranian feminists in Iran and the diaspora challenge these various modes of epistemic silencing. Through a close examination of the praxis of Iranian feminists, reflected primarily through the narratives of the activists themselves,my dissertation contributes to feminist theories of agency and helps revitalizetransnational feminist studies.

Tunepugettia corbariae B.Y. Lee, Richer de Forges and P.K.L. Ng, 2019: 21, figs. 10A, 11D–F, 12A–D (type locality: Ainto Bay, southeast New Britain, Solomon Sea, Papua New Guinea, MADEEP Expedition, 06°08’S 149°10’E, 430–620 m depth).
Material examined. 1 female (PCL 26.9 mm, CW 20.8mm) (IO /SS/BRC/00297),off Middle Andaman Island, Andaman Sea, FORVSS stn. 28016, 12.83°N 93.21°E, 441 m, coll. Dr. Vinu Jacob, Expo model trawl, 17 September 2010.
Remarks. Tunepugettia corbariae was originally described from a male (31.4 × 21.2 mm) collected from Ainto Bay, Papua New Guinea at 430–620 m during the MADEEP Expedition (Lee et al., 2019).
The present female specimen largely agrees with the original description, with exception of a relatively narrow carapace, PCL/CW ratio 1.29 (vs. Papuan female specimens, PCL/CW ratio 1.45–1.67 (Lee et al., 2019)) and slightly less prominent protuberances on the carapace (Fig. 6A–C). The above differences in the present specimen as compared to the Papuan material could be attributed to the comparatively smaller size of the present material. The present observation is a new record in Indian waters.
Distribution. Papua New Guinea at 280–1085 m depth (Lee et al., 2019) and Andaman Sea, India at 441 m depth (present study).

description: Hipposideros ruber (Noack 1893)
This species is represented by just five individuals recorded at three sites in northern Mozambique, which constitute the second record of this species for Mozambique (Fenton, 1986). This species is considerably larger than H. caffer from which it can reliably be distinguished by forearm length (> 50 mm in H. ruber and <49 mm in H. caffer), and also the enlarged nasal compartments (Fenton, 1986). Little is known about the ecology of this species in Southern Africa and only a few specimens have been collected in the region. Peak echolocation frequencies ranged between 130.5 (Pettersson D240x, n = 1) and 132–136 kHz (ANABAT, n = 4).
Field measurements: FA (adult male) 51.7 ± 0.71 (51.2–52.7, 4); Bm (adult male) 10.3 ± 0.50 (10.0–11.0, 4); FA (adult female) 50.0 (1); Bm (adult female) 9.0 (1).

Impacts of space, abundance and food web structure on parasite life cycles
Creators: name: Rossiter, Wayne David
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: The search for fundamental patterns or rules by which parasites establish and persist in free-living species is a rapidly expanding area of interest for both parasitologists and ecologists.  Though host-parasite interactions are fairly well understood at the population level, little is known about parasitism at the community level, nor why some free-living species harbor many parasite taxa while others are seemingly resistant to parasite establishment.  The purpose of this dissertation was to explore several species and community attributes that could be important to parasite establishment and persistence in both a marine saltmarsh (Tuckerton, NJ) and a freshwater riverine system (Raritan River, NJ).  This study specifically emphasized feeding interactions, abundance and spatial distributions of free-living species and their respective helminth parasites.  In Tuckerton saltmarsh, I observed a strong spatial patterning in trematode infections of the mudsnail, Ilyanassa obsoleta, and this pattern is strongly correlated with habitat type and host quality.  At the community level (along with data from four previously published systems), trophically transmitted parasites were found to utilize asymmetric predator-prey interactions, in which predator hosts have many prey items and prey hosts have relatively few predators.  In a pristine site along the Raritan River high resolution abundance data revealed that predator-prey interactions are spatially constrained by habitat and that this pattern was even stronger for host-host and parasite-host interactions.  Finally, I found a decrease in efficiency of biomass transfer up trophic levels across a perturbation gradient in this river system.  This pattern correlated with losses in both free-living and parasite diversity. However, the relationship between these factors and human impact was not linear, suggesting a threshold at which community structure becomes less invasible by parasites.  Collectively, this study suggests that spatial context, in combination with community structure, can greatly affect parasite establishment and persistence and can be used to explain or predict which free-living species are more hospitable hosts.

Physical models designed for vascular stenosis and fluid dynamic studies

description: Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular disease make up the leading cause of death in the United States.  The disease occurs when plaque develops on lesions in the arterial lumen causing narrowing and hardening of the vessel walls.   When the lumen cross-sectional area continues to decrease, the velocity of blood increases eventually becoming turbulent.  This blood flow turbulence is believed to produce a sound in the occluded artery known as a bruit.  Carotid auscultations are considered the golden standard for stenosis screening.  However, recent studies suggest this is a poor predictor of carotid stenosis (sensitivity: 11% -51%).  There are inaccuracies in relationships between vascular bruits and severity of the disease.  Bruits can be missed due to loud sounds produced in the arteries and may be out of the range of human hearing.  Therefore, an understanding of the fluid dynamics of diseased arteries will provide more accurate noninvasive methods for detecting and classifying arterial stenosis.    This thesis proposes that physical models may be used to simulate the fluid dynamics of the diseased artery.  In this research, experiments were conducted on three physical models that represent different geometries of stenosis.  The models consisted of latex tubing with a bending modulus and cross-sectional area similar to a carotid artery in situ.  A constant mean flow was passed through the lumen of the models, and the wall displacements and sounds produced were obtained and analyzed.  The recording devices consisted of a piezoelectric material, optical sensor, and electronic stethoscope.  The results show that stenosis facing a flexible wall produces greater wall vibrations than a symmetrical rigid stenosis.  It was found that increasing the length of a plaque dome results in higher frequencies.  The Continuous Wavelet Transforms (CWTs) of the measurements showed that stenosis with rigid symmetry reduces the amount of wall motion and sounds produced in time.  The models have shown that wall motion is affected by stenotic geometries and thus provides a useful approach to the study of fluid dynamics of vascular disease.  These relationships can be used to increase the sensitivity of classifying and detecting the structure of stenosis using noninvasive devices.

description: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one the most common infections in women of reproductive age which results from the replacement of healthy vaginal microflora mostly by anaerobic pathogens such as Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella bivia and Peptostreptococcus spp. Conventional treatment of BV with the antibiotics metronidazole and clindamycin, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, does not eradicate all of the microorganisms associated with BV and many women remain colonized with G. vaginalis and other anaerobes and inhibit the healthy vaginal microflora such as Lactobacillus spp. Lactosporin, a natural antimicrobial protein produced by Bacillus coagulans ATCC 7050 have shown to be an effective and safe alternative for BV treatment. This dissertation describes the isolation, characterization, mode of action and safety of lactosporin. Lactosporin was found to be an anionic (pI=3.5-4), heat stable protein that its activity is highly pH dependent. Lactosporin inhibited G. vaginalis in well diffusion assay while it had no effect on healthy vaginal lactobacilli. Mode of action studies established that lactosporin inhibits G. vaginalis by forming pores in the cytoplasmic membrane, causing efflux of intracellular material and dissipation of the ΔpH component of the proton motive force (PMF). The saferty of lactosporin was evaluated in-vitro by using EpiVaginal[trade mark] ectocervical tissue model where it was shown to be a safe, non-toxic preparation for feminine care application.

description: Triaenops afer Peters 1877
Benda and Vallo (2009) restrict T. persicus Dobson 1871 within the Middle East, so we classify this African species as T. afer Peters 1877. This species was recorded at eight sites in southern, central and northern Mozambique. Fifteen individuals were captured at the entrance to a cave system in the Cheringoma plateau suggesting that a large roosting colony occurs there. Another large colony occurs just south of the Save River. However, the core of its Southern African distribution is central and northern Mozambique, with marginal intrusion into Zambia and Zimbabwe and south of the Save River. Echolocation calls are sexually dimorphic: peak echolocation frequencies of males ranged between 71–75 kHz (n = 7) and those of females between 82–85 kHz (ANABAT, n = 11). In Malawi, males called at 72–75 kHz and females at 80–85 kHz (D. C. D. Happold and M. Happold, unpublished, cited in Taylor et al., 2005).
Field measurements: FA (adult male) 54.1 ± 1.18 (51.7–55.8, 16); Bm (adult male) 12.1 ± 1.00 (10.0– 13.0, 11); FA (adult female) 52.4 ± 1.34 (49.8–55.2, 16); Bm (adult female) 10.8 ± 1.42 (8.0–12.5, 9).

description: Computer technology is used as a mediational tool to support collaborative instructional methods. Computer support offers a platform for collaboration with the goal of scaffolding students’ understanding, providing increased agency to the student for their own learning, and motivating students, as participants in a PBL process. In online PBL, ideas are made visible in the online environment where students can create iterative processes over time to build problem solutions. Research on face-to-face collaborative discourse in education is fairly extensive. However, with the relatively new and growing use of online collaborative learning, collaborative learning in this context has been given only modest attention to date. The primary research question was: What are different patterns of knowledge construction as part of collaborative discourse? This qualitative case study examined data from 34 students enrolled in an undergraduate course in an educational psychology. The course used a blended instructional structure of in class face to face time and asynchronous online problem-based learning (PBL). Students were assigned to collaborative working groups (n=6 groups). Four online PBL cases were presented and each group was assigned a facilitator (the course professor and a graduate assistant). The students had to collaborate to develop and present a problem solution to each of four problems – posting their dialogue online. The online dialogue was analyzed for characteristics of participation, interaction, and student learning. The goal of this case study was to illuminate and understand the characteristics of online knowledge construction. Examination of the collaborative problem-solving process revealed examples of discourse that showed evidence of both individual learning, social construction of knowledge, and the collaborative knowledge building of a group. Groups that demonstrated a more interactive style of interaction and worked to negotiate a shared understanding of the problem solution were able to integrate educational psychology at a more elaborated level. Through this descriptive process the findings add to a growing body of knowledge about computer supported collaborative learning and PBL and can help to support effective instructional designs and practices.

description: In recent years, biosensors research has emerged as a major field in both academic institutes and industries with broad applications in drug discovery and development, clinical diagnostic tools, cancer and genetic research, agricultural and veterinary analysis, pollution and contamination monitoring, and food processing. ZnO is a wide band gap semiconductor with unique multifunctional material properties, which is particularly attractive for sensor technology.  ZnO can be grown as thin films or as nanostructures with different morphologies on various substrates.  Through proper doping, ZnO and its ternary MgxZn1-xO can be made transparent and conductive, piezoelectric, or ferromagnetic. ZnO-based sensors have demonstrated high sensitivity to various organic and inorganic gases and liquids. The biocompatibility of ZnO is demonstrated in detections of proteins, antibodies, and DNA through the proper surface functionalization.  The control of the surface wettability of ZnO nanotips between super-hydrophilic and super-hydrophobic states are used to dramatically enhance the sensitivity of ZnO-based biosensors.    The aim of this work is to create new paradigms in sensor technology through novel manipulation of nanometer-scale ZnO surfaces and structures, advancement of ZnO-based multi-modal sensing (e.g., acoustic, electrical, and optical). The new sensor technology is based on combination of accurate and high quality growth of multifunctional ZnO single crystal nanostructure arrays, organic and biomolecular functionalization of ZnO surfaces, and design and development of sensor platforms and devices.  The key results of this research features the following sensors and their specific applications: (i) ZnO nanostructure-modified thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator (ZnOnano-TFBAR) for DNA detection, (ii) ZnO nanostructure-modified quartz crystal microbalance (ZnOnano-QCM) for dynamic and noninvasive monitoring of bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC), (iii) sensor-on-food packaging based on ZnO surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor built on protein-coated flexible substrates, and (iv) ZnO thin film transistor immunosensor (ZnO-bioTFT) for detection of epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) proteins found in breast cancer cells.  The new ZnO sensor technology presents great impact on the future classes of multi-modal and multifunctional biosensors and biochips for applications such as cell-based assay development, smart food packaging, and high throughput biosensor arrays that perform highly sensitive and selective biochemical detection.

Muteness and modern drama
Creators: name: Raub, Emily H.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: “Muteness and Modern Drama” asks what became of the mute figure and,broadly, muteness on the melodramatic stage. Melodrama frequently communicated through means other than dialogue, such as music, tableaux, gesture, and character physiognomy. The latter three are silent communicants—visual means of engaging the audience—while music is seemingly antithetical to silence. Or is it? “Muteness and Modern Drama” argues thatmelodrama’s audio-visual semiotics—which equate silence with stasis and sound with motion, so much so that the audience involuntarily experiences silence through, for example, a frozen pose or (later) a singular object or commanding set—carried through to modern drama. Moreover, music in melodrama plays or swells during moments when dialogue subsides, linking it to the unspoken or silence. Chapter one considers the monster in Peake’s Presumption; or, the Fate of Frankenstein as a development of melodrama’s mute figure. I analyze the characteristics of mute figures from early melodramas and argue that Peake contrasts the mute role’s traditionally innocent gestures with the monster’s terrifying costume in order to create a silent character who resembles Shelley’s protagonist/antagonist and fractures the typical division between hero and villain on the melodramatic stage. Chapter one explores the complexities of melodrama’s mute figure and language, and chapters two through four trace how Symbolism and Expressionism adapted this language into avant-garde theater. Chapter two argues that Strindberg and Ibsen’s Symbolist plays, Ghost Sonata and When We Dead Awaken, utilize mute figures in order to convey silent pauses in narrative. They also relate their mute figures to statues, engaging melodrama’s association between muteness and stillness, while indicating the mute figure’s evolution into Symbolism’s emblematic object. In chapter three, Wilde’s Symbolist play, Salome, alternates between incantatory dialogue and silent pauses that Loie Fuller develops into choreography forher Salome dances, which translate her body into symbolic objects. Chapter four turns to Expressionism, focusing on O’Neill’s The Emperor Jones’ simultaneous staging of the thumping tom-tom and the silent, still forest. From melodrama through Symbolism to Expressionism, the mute figure permeates the stage, making silence and visual communication the language of modern theater.
Characterization of the flow field and shape of de-fluidized regions in the wake of large submerged objects in small particle fluidized beds

description: The structure of the de-fluidized hood, an area of un-fluidized material found in the wake downstream of submerged objects, is studied with special interest on the internal fluidization structure and shape of the hood. Previously, the structure of the region was determined based on indirect photographic evidence rather than direct measurement. Also, the wake region had been considered to be entirely packed and focus had only been on the de-fluidized region in the near wake.     In the present study, an experimental set-up was created which allowed for spheres and disks of various radii to be suspended within a fluidized bed of Geldart A particles.  The force imparted by the wake region at various depths on a submerged object was measured providing insight into the downstream extent of the region, as well as the nature of the fluidization within the wake. Additionally, bed collapse with an object near the surface was studied to gain insight into particle mobility within the wake. Experiments were conducted to measure the maximum normal force supported by the wake region, as well as the shear and drag, at various depths above the submerged object surface providing an indirect measure of the velocity within the wake and its effect on neighboring structures.     The results show the region to have several fluidization states: a dead region, a stagnant percolating region, a large percolating region of mobile particles, and an expanding region. The overall shape is found to resemble cylinder with a rounded top. Voids generated at the hemisphere of the submerged objects and particle circulation into and out of the region were found to play a key role in determining the shape and height of the hood, as well as playing a key role in the re-fluidization of the region. Using the data collected from the experiments, a model of the weight force imparted by the de-fluidized region on a submerged object was developed.
