Subjects: Fruit juices--Pasteurization

description: A novel approach for food pasteurization provides an opportunity to develop pathogen free yet fresh-like food products. Nonthermal technologies such as high pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric fields (PEF), and ultrasound (US) are promising tools as alternatives to thermal pasteurization. The objectives of this study were 1) to identify equivalent processing conditions for pasteurization of a pineapple-coconut (PC) juice blend using nonthermal technologies and 2) to evaluate and compare quality attributes of the juice blend under equivalent processing conditions. HPP, PEF, and US in combination with selected food preservation factors were studied in this research to reduce the number of E. coli and L. innocua cells by 5-log CFU/mL in the PC juice blend. The combined treatment of HPP with pH 4 and nisin (600 MPa, 5 min, 75-ppm of nisin) achieved 5-log reduction. The synergistic combination of PEF with pH 4, nisin and mild heat (18 kV/cm, 588 Hz, 50-ppm of nisin, 40°C) exhibited the greatest effectiveness in reaching the 5-log reduction. Thermosonication (120 [mu]m, 10 min, 45°C) also showed a synergistic effect resulting in 5-log reduction of the targeted microorganisms. The effects of HPP, PEF and US with the selected hurdle factors on the quality characteristics of the pasteurized juice blend were determined and compared. No significant changes were observed on the physico-chemical attributes of the PC juice blend by HPP, but there were significant impacts on color and ascorbic content by PEF and US (p < 0.05). Mathematical models were used to predict the inactivation kinetics of E. coli and L. innocua in the PC juice blend treated by the different treatments. The Weibull and biphasic models exhibited the best correlation for HPP inactivation curves. The Weibull model showed a good fit for inactivation kinetics by PEF. Double Weibull and biphasic models showed good agreement to E. coil inactivation kinetics by thermosonication. The first order, double Weibull and biphasic models were helpful to predict the inactivation kinetic of L. innocua by thermosonication. The determination of the three nonthermal technologies in terms of food safety and quality attributes demonstrated the promises and challenges of each technology. The results obtained in this study will support in developing and designing processes using nonthermal technologies.

description: Genus Arachnitus Hebard, 1932
“ This extraordinary genus is nearest Dichopetala, as shown by the general build, unarmed cephalic coxae, pronotum lacking a humeral sinus, lobiform tegmina, male subgenital plate without styles, presence of areas exposed by the short rounded meso- and meta-sternal lobes, very slender fastigium, gently curved and heavily toothed ovipositor, cephalic femora over twice as long as pronotum and cephalic tibiae sulcate and armed dorsad and with foramina on both sides. It differs in the very small size and more slender form, pronotum with lateral carinae, practically apterous female sex and exceedingly elongate and slender limbs ” (Hebard, 1932).
This peculiar genus was known from one species, Hebard (1932). Examining long series of Arachnitus Hebard, 1932 we discovered that a remarkable difference between Arachnitus and Dichopetala Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 is the absence in Arachnitus males of a chitinous titillator-like structure. It is represented as two simple keels or plates to strongly toothed three-dimensional structures in Dichopetala. The female subgenital plate is not divided (Buzzetti et al., 2010). Dr. Theodore J. Cohn (Insect division/Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, USA), suggested the first author investigate the identity of a completely wingless population of Arachnitus. During our field expedition to Oaxaca we had the chance to collect in Puebla, not far from the Oaxaca border. We found a population with this character to be a distinct species, different not only for the total absence of tegmina, but for additional characters. This new species is described below.

description: This investigation was undertaken to evaluate oxidation and hot corrosion behavior of the Ni-based superalloy IN718, at 850 and 650°C, to explore its performance as turbine engine components under marine environment. Uncoated and different salt-coated samples (Type-A 75wt.% Na2SO4 + 25wt.% NaCl, and Type-B 90 wt.% Na2SO4 + 10 wt.% NaCl) were exposed in air at 850 and 650°C for up to 100 h. Weight loss was studied for both uncoated and salt-coated samples. light optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy, compression test, fatigue test and microhardness test were used to characterize the processed samples. A possible mechanism of corrosion, based on the corrosion compounds, is discussed. The variation in weight loss with time showed a parabolic growth of oxides. Coating with Type-A salt was found to be detrimental both at 850°C as well as 650°C. On the other hand, the Type-B salt mixture had small effect at 850°C; however, it was detrimental at lower temperature of 650°C. Type-B coatings of salt mixture caused very slow oxidation at both the temperatures. Increase in amount of NaCl salt coating was observed to enhance the rate of hot corrosion. From the microstructure, delta phase was found to be detrimental to the mechanical properties after 850°C hot corrosion. A Hall-Petch relationship between microhardness and average grain size for 650°C hot corroded samples was observed. Differences between 850°C and 650°C hot corrosion were discussed.

Santa Maria material examined. Maximum height 51.0 mm, width 2.4 mm. One specimen from LNEG collection (unnumbered), Ponta do Norte lighthouse, Santa Maria Island, Azores, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene.
Description. Shell large, solid, fusiform, with moderate height conical spire. Protoconch missing. Six convex teleoconch whorls preserved. Surface on first four whorls eroded. Penultimate whorl convex, with periphery mid-whorl and suggestion of weak spiral sculpture. Last whorl broadly convex moderately constricted at base, with broad long siphonal fasciole; fine spiral sculpture above base, strong spiral cord on fasciole. Aperture ovate, outer lip incomplete, but without sign of labial varix.
Discussion. A single large specimen in the LNEG collection with dorsum embedded in matrix, labelled Euthria af. magna Bellardi from Ponta do Norte lighthouse, is, in our opinion, not a Euthria Gray, 1850 (Superfamily Buccinoidea) based on its very broad siphonal fasciole that is not recurved, as it is in the genus Euthria. The siphonal canal and tip of the fasciole are covered in matrix so we cannot confirm if the fasciole curves around a pseudoumbilicus as it does in many Fusinus species. Moreover, the outer lip is not thickened as it is in the genus Euthria. We have assigned it the subfamily Fusininae Wrigley, 1927, genus Fusinus Rafinesque, 1815 tentatively, as we cannot match it to any European or West African fossil or extant species. However, it is somewhat reminiscent of another odd species, Fusinus clavilithoides Landau, Harzhauser, B ̧y̧kmeriç & Breitenberger, 2016 from the middle Miocene eastern Mediterranean Karaman Basin of Turkey but differs in having strong cords on the siphonal fasciole, lacking in the Turkish species. In their discussion, Landau et al. (2016: 223) considered the subfamily Peristerniinae Tryon, 1880 for their Turkish specimen, but members of that subfamily have columellar folds. The columellar edge is only partially exposed in the Santa Maria specimen but no signs of folds are seen.

description: Copper oxides are the earliest materials which have been investigated to work as the thin film solar cells due to its non-toxic prosperity, abundance exist, as well as the low-cost formation processes. While the efficiencies of Cu2O based solar cells reported, around 2%, are much lower than its theoretical limit (21%). The purpose of this study is to investigate the best condition for p-type Cu2O film through electrodeposition. The electrolyte, pH, deposition time, applied potential and current density of electrodeposition were compared and optimized in this study. Thermal annealing and buffer layers were also introduced in this study to improve the performance of the solar cell. The photovoltaic device with Cu2O/Ti/ITO cell structure where Cu2O was deposited in the electrolyte with pH of 13 and thermally annealed at 300 ℃ for 60 minutes was found to have the best efficiency of ~1.76%, which exceeds most of the Cu2O based electrodeposited heterojunction solar cells.
Reconstructing the pedigree of Toyama sweet cherry germplasm
Creators: name: Demir, Duygu
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Sweet cherry--Genetics

description: Sweet cherry has been commonly grown and bred. Dr. Thomas Toyama conducted the Washington State University (WSU) Sweet Cherry Breeding Program for 20 years. Eleven commercial cultivars, 'Chelan', 'Index' 'Cashmere', 'Glacier', 'Olympus' 'Simcoe' 'Tieton', 'Benton', 'Selah', 'Kiona', and 'Cowiche', were subsequently released from this program. These cultivars and 30 extant selections are maintained currently in the WSU Roza research orchard in Prosser, WA. The origins of Toyama germplasm have not been systematically determined. The genetic history of Toyama germplasm was characterized and summarized here using Dr. Toyama's hand-written crossing records and other available pedigree information. Dr. Toyama utilized 76 parents from various geographical origins to create 212 families and 5201 germinated seeds formed from more than 90,000 pollinated flowers. Dr. Toyama commonly used parent 'Stella', and 'Napoleon' was determined to be the most commonly involved ancestor. However, the historical parentage records of Dr. Toyama's germplasm needed further investigation, as some of the recorded parentages in Toyama's breeding records book might not be correct, some parentage information was missing, and the origin of some parents was unclear. Using SNP array data for 1617 SNP markers, parentage or grandparentage was verified or deduced for most of the extant selected germplasm. The fathers of one cultivar and three selections were corrected. The results indicated that Dr. Thomas Toyama used a considerably diverse germplasm base in crossing. Complementary allelic combinations resulting from 'Stella' crossed with the French cultivars 'Early Burlat' and Moreau' might hold particular value for PNW production by imparting attributes such as self-fertility, early-season fruiting, and powdery mildew resistance. For the interesting powdery mildew-resistant selection PMR-1, PC 6658-1 or 2 ('Lambert' × 'Ebony') was determined to be the likely mother, and PC 7146-x ('Stella' × 'Moreau') was the likely father, as SNP array genotypes for the proposed grandparents completely matched PMR-1 across each of its eight phased chromosomes. 'Moreau' was determined to be the genetic source of PMR-1's powdery mildew resistance. Future studies could investigate other chromosomal segments from the parents and ancestors of Toyama's cultivars and selections that positively contribute to key horticultural traits, to further inform breeding decisions.

description: Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium parvum, members of the phylum Apicomplexa, are considered significant pathogens of both humans and animals worldwide. They are obligate intracellular parasites that cause serious conditions like neurological abnormalities, blindness or chronic diarrhea, especially to immunocompromised individuals. Currently there are no effective therapeutics to treat cryptosporidiosis in children and no drugs that eliminate the chronic bradyzoite stage responsible for toxoplasmosis in AIDS patients, making the discovery of new therapeutic drugs a priority. Here we described the activity of boromycin, a lipid-soluble antibiotic produced by Streptomyces antibioticus, against T. gondii and C. parvum. Boromycin potently inhibited intracellular proliferation of both T. gondii and C. parvum both at nanomolar concentrations with 50% inhibitory concentration (EC50) of 2.13nM and 4.99nM, respectively. Treatment of extracellular T. gondii with 25nM of boromycin for 30 mins suppressed 84% of parasite growth, and parasites did not recover even after 96 hours of incubation post-treatment. Synchronized invasion assay also revealed a reduced in T. gondii tachyzoite invasion to host cells. Furthermore, immunofluorescence of boromycin-treated T. gondii using anti-surface antigen glycoprotein-1 (SAG1) antibodies showed loss of morphologically intact parasites with randomly distributed surface antigens inside the parasitophorous vacuoles. Cytotoxic concentration (CC50) of boromycin to HFFs and HCT-8s were 20.0 [mu]M and 27.46 [mu]M, respectively. Boromycin also displayed a high selectivity Index (SI) ranging from 3767 to 8812 which signifies a high specificity of the drug to the parasites but not to the host cells. These results suggest boromycin is a promising new drug candidate for treating toxoplasmosis and cryptosporidiosis.

* Buccinum (Nassa) Doderleini Mayer, in Bronn in Reiss 1862: 26.
Buccinum doderleini Mayer — Mayer 1864: 75.
Type material. Single specimen, dimensions not given, Pinheiros, Santa Maria Island, Azores; whereabouts unknown (Beu 2017:165).
Original description. “ Ein wohl-erhaltenes Exemplar, wovon jedoch das Innere der M̧ndung nicht zu enthl̂ssen ist. Es ist ¾" lang, mit etwas bauchigen Umgängen und vertiefter Naht; der letzte Umgang genau von halber Länge des Ganzen; die innere Lippe ḑnn, aber breit ̧ber den Bauch des vorletzten Umgangs heŗber und bis gegen die Naht zurück-reichend; die äussere Lippe schief, wulstig; ein früherer Lippen-Wulst liegt um ⅔ Umgänge weiter zuŗck und wirkt mit den Bauch etwas mehr abzuplatten. Herr Mayer, welcher diese Art schon fŗher aufgestellt, kennt sie aus dem Helvétien von Turin [A well-preserved specimen, from which, however, the matrix inside the aperture cannot be removed. It is ¾" [inches?] long, with somewhat bulbous whorls and deepened suture; the last whorl of exactly half the length of the shell; the inner lip callus thin, but broadly expanded over the venter of the penultimate whorl and reaching the suture; the outer lip crooked, bulging; an earlier lip bulge is ⅔ [of the whorl] further back and has a slightly flattening effect on the venter. Mr. Mayer, who described this species before, knows it from the Helvétien of Turin.]” (Bronn in Reiss 1862: 26).
Discussion. Bronn in Reiss (1862: 26) erected the taxon Buccinum (Nassa) Doderleini based on a specimen from Turin, Italy. The shell was apparently sent to Mayer and the taxon attributed to him by those authors. Mayer (1864: 75-76) commented that he had not received the specimen back a second time and could therefore offer neither a diagnosis nor figure of the species. He went on to say that “ The fossil remains of Turin, to which I have previously given the name, would most likely after more precise comparison, represent a somewhat shorter, almost entirely smooth variety of B. Hoernesi (B. semistriatum Hoern., non Broc.). The specimen from Santa Maria, however, should form a species of its own because, according to Bronn, its columella callus expands, which is not the case with B. Hoernesi ”. With no further specimens that fit this description, we cannot comment further. Today, these European nassariids are assigned to the genus Tritia Risso, 1826.

description: This study investigated whether narcissistic personality traits perceived in one's romantic partner play a role in the severity of one's eating disorder symptoms. Narcissism in romantic relationships is associated with a tendency for the individual with high levels of narcissism to feel that their partner is falling short of their extrinsic ideals and to push their partners to make extrinsic changes. Concurrently, for some individuals with eating disorders, romantic partners serve as a social feedback that may further influence their own self-evaluation. This study used a specialized sample of 95 adults (85 female, 3 male, 2 transgender, 4 gender non-conforming, 1 other) ages 18 to 64 (M = 28.89, SD = 9.08) who were receiving treatment for an eating disorder. Contrary to hypotheses, perceived partner narcissism was not significantly related to eating disorder symptom severity. Lower reported self-esteem was related to higher endorsement of eating disorder symptomology as well as lower relationship satisfaction and increased social comparison tendencies. Furthermore, less engagement in social comparison was related to higher relationship satisfaction. The longer the relationship, the less likely participants were to perceive their partner as being high in narcissism and the more likely they were to be satisfied with their relationship. These findings may have implications for understanding how interpersonal, particularly romantic, relationships are perceived for individuals with eating disorders.

description: Invasive species have far-reaching ecological and economic impacts. The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) has spread globally through anthropogenic activity and has been named one of the world's worst invasive species. Bullfrogs have especially impacted native amphibians in California through predation, competition, and disease. Bullfrogs are thought to be expanding in the state and may be able to impact additional amphibians that have already undergone severe disease-related declines. With the current projects, I used environmental niche models (ENMs) to examine the patterns and drivers underlying historic bullfrog invasion in California. This exercise allowed me to identify potentially suitable habitats that are at risk of future invasion. I also built multi-scale occupancy models using detections from environmental DNA (eDNA) samples to examine the potential of Sierra Nevada meadow restoration projects to promote regional occupancy of bullfrogs and the amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd). Bullfrogs have spread in a diffuse pattern from their earliest introduction points in California, and the Klamath mountains and southern Coast range may be invaded in the future. However, bullfrogs appear to be limited from high elevation habitats in the Sierra Nevada, possibly due to winter freezing or topographic resistance. Site-level occupancy of bullfrogs and Bd did not differ between Sierra Nevada meadows restored with different methods, but the quantity of bullfrog eDNA detected tended to be highest at pond-and-plug restored meadows. Bd eDNA quantity was also positively influenced by the presence of bullfrogs within the meadow. Even limited overlap between bullfrogs and sensitive native amphibians in the future could increase the transmission of Bd. Future work should focus on the local invasion dynamics of bullfrogs in areas occupied by sensitive amphibians as well as spatio-temporal patterns in the prevalence of Bd, both in the environment and in amphibian hosts.

description: To improve the ability of cattle to conceive and maintain a full-term pregnancy, two studies were undertaken. The objectives of the first study were to identify loci and gene-sets in crossbred beef heifers associated with conception at the first service (HCR1) or multiple services (TBRD). Heifers (n = 709) from a commercial beef operation underwent one round of artificial insemination, before exposure to bulls for natural service for 50 days. Pregnancy and time of conception were determined by ultrasound 35 days after the conclusion of the breeding season so that 300 heifers could be selected for genotyping with 43,984 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A genome-wide association analysis (GWAA) identified one locus as associated (P = 8.97 × 10-6) with TBRD on BTA19. A gene-set enrichment analysis using single nucleotide polymorphisms (GSEA-SNP) identified one gene-set as enriched (NES = 3.15) with TBRD. The objectives of the second study were to identify loci, positional candidate genes, gene-sets, and pathways associated with spontaneous abortion (SA) in Holstein heifers and primiparous cows and compare these results with previous human SA studies to determine the suitability of cattle as a human SA model. Cattle were selected for genotyping after pregnancy was determined at gestation day 35 and calving dates were recorded. A GWAA, GSEA-SNP and an Ingenuity Pathway Analysis compared 43,984 genotypes of 499 heifers and 498 cows that calved at full-term to 62 heifers and 28 cows experiencing SA. Twenty-three loci and 21 positional candidate genes were associated (P < 1 × 10-5) with SA and eight gene-sets (NES > 3.0) were enriched for SA. Of the genes and gene sets associated with fertility in cattle, one positional candidate gene and two gene-set had also previously been associated with human SA. These studies identified loci, genes, and gene-sets associated with fertility and provide support for using cattle as a potential model for fertility traits such as SA in humans.

Plate 5 E 1 -E 2
Santa Maria material examined. Maximum height 7.5 mm, width 4.0 mm. One specimen from LNEG collection (unnumbered), Ponta do Castelo, Santa Maria Island, Azores, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene.
Description. Shell small for genus, fusiform. Protoconch missing.Teleoconch of three convex whorls, somewhat swollen in the abapical half, suture moderately impressed, undulating. Sculpture of eight broad, rounded prosocline ribs, slightly wider than their interspaces, overrun by three spiral cords on spiral whorl, adapical cord weaker, abapical tubercles of equal strength, most abapical form in periphery. Last whorl convex, weakly constricted at base, bearing a single secondary between the primary cords below mid whorl. Close-spaced prosocline growth lines give interspaces between cords slightly scabrous appearance. Aperture and siphonal fasciole incomplete.
Discussion. In the LNEG collection is a single specimen of Aplus sp. from Ponta do Castelo. The specimen is incomplete, missing its apex and part of its aperture. The genus Aplus De Gregorio, 1885 in the Italian Plio-Pleistocene was revised by Brunetti & Della Bella (2014). The Azorean specimen is most like A. ansus (De Gregorio, 1884) but differs in not having angular whorls, and A. plioparvus (Sacco, 1904) which is similar in profile but has more numerous spiral cords. Further determination is not possible based on the material available.
Distribution. Lower Pliocene: Atlantic, Santa Maria Island, Azores (this paper).

description: The Washington Assessment of the Risks and Needs of Students (WARNS) is a computer-based assessment created to help courts, schools, and youth service providers determine an adolescent's risk and needs that may lead to truancy, drop out, or delinquency from school. This assessment measures a single domain and six subdomains represented by a bi-factor model. For each subscale, risk and need scores are calculated. Nevertheless, users are advised to consider the total score to make a decision about youth. A total score estimate with fewer items may result in reducing respondent burden and administration time, while not hindering accurate decisions. Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) can be an efficient way of administering an assessment with a smaller number of items. In CAT, items for each examinee are selected from an item pool based on the examinee's responses to the previously administered items. Item administration ceases when an examinee's ability estimate reaches a predetermined precision level. Thus, each examinee, in theory, is offered the fewest possible items, that are most appropriate for that individual. CAT use in personality assessments is limited compared to achievement assessments but can reduce the number of items required without sacrificing score accuracy. The purpose of this study is to examine applicability and efficiency of CAT for the WARNS through a simulation study. The results demonstrate that the CAT provides an accurate estimate of students' risk and need total scores on the WARNS, yields accurate trait estimates, and reduces the number of items administered for each examinee compared to the existing computer-based version. Nevertheless, future research is recommended before a live WARNS CAT is developed for use in practice.
Improved knowledge distillation for deep neural networks

description: Despite the fact that deep neural networks are powerful models and achieve appealing results on many tasks, they are too large to be deployed on edge devices like smartphones or embedded sensor nodes. There have been efforts to compress these networks, and a popular method is knowledge distillation, where a large (teacher) pre-trained network is used to train a smaller (student) network. However, in this thesis, we show that the student network performance degrades when the gap between student and teacher is large. Given a fixed student network, one cannot employ an arbitrarily large teacher, or in other words, a teacher can effectively transfer its knowledge to students up to a certain size, not smaller. To alleviate this shortcoming, we introduce multi-step knowledge distillation, which employs an intermediate-sized network (teacher assistant) to bridge the gap between the student and the teacher. Moreover, we study the effect of teacher assistant size and extend the framework to multi-step distillation. Theoretical analysis and extensive experiments on CIFAR10,100 and ImageNet datasets and on CNN and ResNet architectures substantiate the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

description: Over the past decade, Android applications have become one of the principal interfaces by which consumers interact with technology. To date, there are reportedly 2.5 billion Android devices in circulation. Due to the global pervasiveness of the Android Operating System, Android applications are subject to pervasive attack and thus require effective, efficient methods of detecting data leaks. A robust security analysis technique known as taint analysis performs an analysis of the sources (i.e. user inputs) and sinks (i.e. destinations for user input, such as a database) within an application to discover points in the data flow paths where sensitive information may be leaking out. However, performing taint analysis can be prohibitively expensive in terms of time and computational resources. This thesis refines incremental taint analysis, a taint analysis technique that provides efficiency advantages over traditional taint analysis. Since changes between two versions of an Android application are typically small, incremental taint analysis performs a change impact analysis between two application versions prior to running a taint analysis. The addition of this step allows for re-analyzing only the impacted portions of the program, thus saving considerable resources during analysis. This thesis also provides an open-source tool to the public that can perform incremental taint analysis automatically by performing an automated change impact analysis between two versions of an Android application and using the analysis results to perform incremental taint analysis on the evolved variant. After performing incremental taint analysis using this tool on 615 Android applications, the results demonstrate that incremental taint analysis increases the efficiency of analyzing any random pair of Android applications by 42.2% when not considering any other factors. Furthermore, the average efficiency of the analysis increases by 73.8% when the overhead of analyzing small differences between two versions crosses a specific threshold.

description: Ternatus malleatus new species
Figs. 1, 3, 5 A–C, 6–7, 8A–D
Etymology. The species name comes from the Latin word malleatus (“wrought or beaten with a hammer”), in reference to the shape of the male prolateral tibial apophysis.
Types. Male holotype: Xiaojialu Village, Hongtan Station, Huaping National Nature Reserve, Guangxi Prov., N25.60931°, E109.95181°, Alt. 850m, Coll. Lihong Tu, 3 Nov. 2007. Paratypes: 2 males, 4 females, same data as holotype.
Diagnosis. Males of the two new species can be easily distinguished by the prolateral tibial apophysis stout and dentate, strongly sclerotized in T. malleatus (Fig. 7 D), but thumb-like without dentils in T. siculus (Fig. 10 D). Females are distinguished by having the median plate longer than wide in T. malleatus, and wider than long in T. siculus (Fig. 8).
Description.
Male (holotype). Total length 2.49. Carapace 1.09 long, 0.69 wide. Abdomen 1.42 long, 0.87 wide. Chelicera with six promarginal and five retromarginal teeth (Figs. 3 H, 6E).

description: This thesis study examines the literature on students who have disabilities, including such conditions as autism, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disability, that impact verbal and nonverbal communication skills. Supporting communication skills development in such students is key to ensuring that these children are able to participate in the general education curriculum. It is also critical to promoting their overall social and academic inclusion. However, there are gaps in the knowledge regarding the resources available to support teachers and families in the implementation of appropriate practices and strategies that have been developed to improve the communication skills of these students with complex communication needs, particularly during the preschool and elementary school years. This study examined the literature on effective interventions to facilitate the development of communication skills and to improve the academic environment for students with communication challenges. The researcher utilized exploratory systematic literature review procedures that employed the guidelines outlined in Talbott et al. (2017). A data extraction form was designed and used to systematically compile data from all the studies that met the inclusion criteria. This review reports the participant characteristics, setting characteristics, independent and dependent variables, and results for each of the 11 included studies. The main finding of this thesis is that there are more interventions and strategies designed to improve verbal communication skills than there are that focus on improving nonverbal skill outcomes. This is significant given the importance of nonverbal communication skills in social interactions and the sometimes severe challenges students diagnosed with, for example, autism often face in the area of learning and understanding nonverbal communication. In addition, another important finding of the research was that interventions that incorporate social interaction with typical peers are very useful in improving the communication skills of children with autism and complex communication needs. Implications for practice and research are also discussed.

Santa Maria material examined. Maximum height 17.0 mm, width 12.0 mm. DBUA-F 828-2 (1), Ponta dos Frades, Santa Maria Island, Azores, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene.
Discussion. The single specimen from Santa Maria is too poorly preserved to offer a description. Orania fusulus (Brocchi, 1814), from the Upper Miocene to present-day Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic from Portugal to Angola, including the oceanic islands of Azores, Madeira, and Canary Islands, is slenderer, with a longer siphonal canal. Orania turrita (Borson, 1821) has a similarly short siphonal canal, but is squatter, broader with a more scalate spire. In profile, the Azorean specimen is most like O. bellardiana (Foresti, 1884) from the Lower Pliocene of Italy. That species had not been refigured since its original description until recently (Ceregato et al. 2010: pl. 1, figs. 10- 12; Brunetti & Cresti 2018: fig. 267). Better preserved material would be needed to confirm this identification.
