Chaleponcus

description: Genus Chaleponcus Attems, 1914
Type species
Chaleponcus limbatus Attems, 1914 (Namibia), by subsequent designation of Kraus (1960).
Other included species
Fourty-seven, including five species described as new here, see Kraus (1960, 1966), Frederiksen (2013a), Vohland & Hamer (2013), Enghoff (2014, 2017).
Diagnosis (modified from Enghoff 2014)
Differs from other genera of Prionopetalini by the combination of the following characters: proplica and metaplica of gonopod coxa coming together apically and forming a hoodlike cucullus; solenomere long and whiplike, at least twice as long as telomere if stretched out, not spiraled terminally; solenomere without accessory branches or outgrowths (except for sometimes at the very base); telomere proximally folded like a tube or a trough and distally dividing into two or three diverging lamellae.
Remarks
About half of the described species occur in southern Africa as far north as Zimbabwe and southern Mozambique (Enghoff 2014). Further north, the genus is represented in the Eastern Arc by C. parensis Frederiksen, 2013, five new species described here and, notably, by the the Chaleponcus dabagaensis group with 21 species in the Udzungwa Mts and C. altirungwensis Enghoff, 2017 from Mt. Rungwe (Enghoff 2014, 2017).
Chaleponcus schioetzae sp. nov. and C. soerensenae sp. nov., both from the Uluguru Mts, are very similar, sharing among other things a large metaplical palette; they could be placed in a separate species group, the C. schioetzae group, see remarks under C. schioetzae sp. nov. below.

Lebanognoriste

description: Lebanognoriste, new genus
DIAGNOSIS: Wing membrane without macrotrichia, R 1 short, crossvein r­m fused with base of M 3+4, fork of M 3+4 and CuA not sessile; preapical palpomere attached at the tip of antepreapical, inner mid and hind tibial spurs longer than outer ones.
3+4
TYPE SPECIES: Lebanognoriste prima, n.sp.
ETYMOLOGY: The name is a combination of Lebanon, source country of the amber, and the genus name Gnoriste. The name is feminine.
COMMENTS: Lebanognoriste together with Archaeognoriste form the most basal group of Lygistorrhinidae. Synapomorphies such as rather long fore coxae; short vein R 1; short, transverse RS1 section; reduced base of the M 1 and M 2 fork; and crossvein r­m shifted proximally and aligned to M2 + tb fused vein, which is oblique or longitudinal and shifted proximally, undoubtedly ally these two genera with the lygistorrhinids (see also Analyses). Both genera lack autapomorphies, and comparison to recent representatives of the family indicates various plesiomorphies.

Distribution. This is the first record from Saudi Arabia. It was described from Zimbabwe (as “ Rhodesia ”) and further recorded from Namibia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen (Smith & Vockeroth 1980; Whittington 2003; Smit et al. 2017).
Remarks. Stuckenberg (1954b) described Paragus pusillus. Stuckenberg (1954a) established the subgenus Pandasyopthalmu s in addition to the subgenus Paragus Latreille. Smith & Vockeroth (1980) listed it under P. (Paragus) pusillus. Following Vujić et al. (2008) P. (Paragus) pusillus was therefore put under P. (Serratoparagus) pusillus.
Genus Phytomia Guérin-Méneville
There are approximately 26 species of Phytomia worldwide of which 19 species are found in the Afrotropical region (De Meyer et al. 2020). De Meyer et al. (2020) has published a taxonomic revision of the Afrotropical species of Phytomia with an identification key and has investigated their interrelationships based on morphological and DNA data. Dirickx (1998) and Whittington (2003) listed 18 species of Phytomia found in the Afrotropical region. De Meyer et al. (2020) have synonymised three species listed by Dirickx (1998) and Whittington (2003) namely: P. neavei Bezzi is considered a junior synonym of P. kroeberi (Bezzi), P. noctilio Speiser a junior synonym of P. pubipennis Bezzi and P. ephippium Bezi a junior synonym of P. melas (Bezzi). They described three new species: P. austeni sp.n., P. memnon sp.n. and P. pallida sp.n. They also validated P. curta (Loew) and differentiated if from P. natalensis (Macquart). Therefore, the total number of Phytomia in the Afrotropical region is 19. The larvae of some species of Phytomia have a semiaquatic saprophagous life cycle and therefre, can be found in a wide range of habitats including bodies of water. Some species of Phytomia are observed to play an important role as pollinators (Njorege et al. 2004).

Prescriptive authority for New Jersey psychologists
Creators: name: Graziano, Brendan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: As an increasing number of state legislatures consider granting prescriptive authority to qualified psychologists (RxP), it is important for the field of professional psychology to examine our own professional community’s opinions and attitudes toward this policy area (McGrath, 2010). In addition to examining attitudes and beliefs about RxP, this study examines: (a) if exposure to RxP-related information influences one’s opinion toward RxP; (b) how psychology graduate students and psychologists utilize information related to RxP; (c) reasons for supporting/opposing RxP; and (d) differences between students’ and psychologists’ beliefs about RxP. A Bayesian Informal Argumentation approach is utilized to quantitatively measure how subjects evaluate RxP-related information in terms of believability and utility. Two-hundred and seventy-one participants gathered from New Jersey psychology doctoral programs and various professional psychology listservs completed the online survey developed for this study. Findings suggest that the psychology community remains relatively divided on the issue of RxP, with most not interested in pursuing certification for RxP and most reporting that they are not knowledgeable on the topic. Despite there being significant differences between how students and psychologists evaluate RxP information, the Bayesian Informal Argumentation approach proved to not be an ideal measure for how subjects evaluate information on this topic. However, data regarding participants’ evaluations of information and reasons to oppose/support RxP provide insight into the values and opinions of members of the psychology community. Implications for RxP stakeholders and limitations of the study are discussed.

Year: 2017

description: The current study introduced Restore360, a coaching model that holds promise for the implementation of restorative circles. Restore360 draws from and integrates features of effective coaching models that support the implementation of evidence-based practices in schools. The core characteristics of Restore360 are a) a strong focus on teacher-coach collaboration, b) an emphasis on teacher strengths, c) the use of performance feedback, d) teacher access to sustained coaching over the course of a school year, and e) the use of a structured observational tool, RP-Observe. The current study examined the acceptability, feasibility, and responsiveness of Restore360, as well the coaching model’s promise for improving the quality of restorative circles. Coaches (N = 3) worked with teachers (N = 6) in three urban middle and high schools during a 1-year intervention. A mixed method design was utilized to test the study’s hypotheses. Quantitative (e.g., surveys, RP-Observe) and qualitative data (e.g., semi-structured interviews) were collected concurrently and the results were triangulated for interpretation purposes. Results suggested that coaches and teachers found Restore360 to be acceptable and responsive to differentiated student needs, including gender, race/ethnicity, achievement level, and children with special needs. Teachers and coaches reflected positively on teacher and student development throughout the coaching experience. However, the study did not find Restore360 to have adequate feasibility. Future directions and implications for adoption of the model are discussed.

Determinants of health-related misinformation sharing on social media - a Scoping Review

description: The effectiveness of Public Health responses to acute crises often relies on population-level changes of individual health-related behaviours (Glanz & Bishop, 2010). Many potential measures to achieve this aim critically depend on the information available to the target population and whether they provide trustworthy and reliable guidance (De Vries, 2017). As exemplified during the Covid-19 pandemic, the proliferation of false information may pose a key threat here, as false information has been shown to reduce adherence to behavioural guidelines, promote engagement in false prevention measures and encourage hate and exclusion. Tackling their spread has thus been established as a research priority in the WHO Response Strategy (WHO, 2020). As the rapid distribution of dis- and misinformation (dis-information: incorrect information intended to deceive; mis-information: incorrect information, but not intended to deceive) is largely occurring through social media, government efforts have focused on reducing the spread and availability of mis- and disinformation on various platforms (Pennycook & Rand, 2021). These efforts have mostly targeted misinformation, which is making up the far bigger share, and have strongly relied on partnering with tech companies for fact-checking, offering more trustworthy information or removing false information (Pennycook & Rand, 2021). This work has almost exclusively focused on deliberate and reflective mental processes. However, other potential determinants (e.g., fast, reactive and impulsive processes that drive most of individuals’ decision making as well as contextual effects) are likely to also affect how users judge the trustworthiness of information and influence their decision to share false information. As a result, interventions have mostly failed to considerably reduce misinformation sharing (Pennycook & Rand, 2021). It is thus crucial to better understand misinformation sharing behaviour as functional behaviour, which also implies that the determinants go beyond cognitive judgements about the correctness or incorrectness of information. Viewing sharing of misinformation through a behavioural lens opens different avenues to comprehensively and integratively study its determinants. One especially promising avenue is the use of behavioural frameworks such as the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF; Cane et al., 2012) that include both cognitive-deliberative as well as contextual and non-deliberative determinants. It is a continuously updated integrative framework summarizing evidence-based determinants of behavior (with 14 key domains) and behavior change (i.e. facilitators and barriers), allowing to systematically understand mechanisms of change and inform intervention design as well as their evaluation.
The impact of sociocultural factors on relationship quality for African American couples
Creators: name: Wesley, Kiara
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Compared to their White counterparts, African Americans have higher never-married and divorce rates, greater complaints of negative partner behavior, and lower relationship quality (e.g. Philips & Sweeney, 2005), and this instability is not solely attributable to structural factors such as socioeconomic status (Bulanda & Brown, 2007). The current study examined internalized racism and television media, sociocultural factors theorized to play a unique role in relationship quality for Black couples. It was hypothesized that internalized racism would predict lower relationship quality. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that greater television viewing would predict lower relationship quality, and proportions of Black-oriented and mainstream programming viewed by participants were examined to explore the impact, if any, of race. The sample was comprised of 112 African Americans in a romantic relationship (n = 22 couples or 44 participants of the total 112 sample), and the data were examined for dependency of participant scores. No significant differences between coupled and non-coupled participants were found, allowing for the use of the full sample. Consistent with previous research and expectations, hierarchical linear regressions revealed that internalized racism was a significant predictor of poorer relationship quality. However, contrary to predictions and emerging research, no television viewing variables significantly predicted relationship quality. Implications of the aforementioned findings, study limitations, and future directions are discussed.

A jellyfish-based aquatic locomotor with tunable gaits
Creators: name: Wang, Lillian
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The main objective of this thesis is to characterize the fluid flow around a jellyfish-inspired locomotor and evaluate its efficiency by measuring the cost of transport. This thesis describes the design and fabrication of a soft locomotor inspired by the swimming patterns seen in nature by the moon jellyfish. The locomotor used the linear actuation of a syringe to pull on its soft bell to emulate the contraction of muscles in a jellyfish. The locomotor swam with various gaits categorized into three paces of actuation: fast, moderate, and slow. By performing particle image velocimetry and collecting vertical displacement data through acquired video, it was possible to characterize the motion of the locomotor and surrounding fluid. The flow pattern for the moderate gait most closely followed the flow pattern of living, oblate jellyfish. The displacement and velocity profiles showed distinct regimes of contraction and relaxation as seen in living jellyfish. At moderate and slow gaits, there was a third regime of post-relaxation depicted by an additional acceleration phase. The calculated average costs of transport for various gaits indicate there is a dependence on swimming speed. In general, these results suggest that jellyfish might be capable of adjusting their propulsive efficiency by varying their gait, but that they have evolved to swim at a gait for maximum feeding efficiency rather than propulsive efficiency.
Computer-supported collaborative video analysis of teaching and learning

description: The process of intersubjective meaning making is an important characteristic of learning which occurs through social engagement. However, little research has been conducted to explore how the collaborative analysis of video, particularly through the use of video-editing tools, can be used to support mathematics teacher education and research. This study examines the process of intersubjective meaning making and information uptake that was enacted by teachers, teacher educators, and researchers as they interacted with reviewers or peers while creating or modifying VMCAnalytics (video narratives) related to mathematics teaching or learning. The study was designed as a qualitative descriptive case study involving six novice or expert authors developing or revising VMCAnalytics for multiple purposes. Uptake analysis methodology was used for the analysis. The study offers deeper insight into the ways in which computer-supported collaborative video analysis is enacted, addressing the need for research in this area. Analysis revealed that most authors took up the majority of the reviewers’ comments and that the quality of their VMCAnalytics improved over the course of the review process. However, discourse and uptake patterns as well as the quality of the final VMCAnalytic product differed between users, and some types of discourse had a larger impact on the quality of VMCAnalytics than others. This study also identified strengths and weaknesses of the VMCAnalytic tool as it is used for the review process prior to publication. These findings have implications for the future refinement of the tool that has potential to become a model for video research collaboration.

Year: 2017

description: Multiple Coordinate Complexes, coordinate structures consisting of three conjuncts and one coordinator, are interpretively distinct from coordinate structures with three conjuncts and two coordinators. Despite semantic observations by Borsley (2005) and Winter (2006) to this effect, there exists no principled structural account distinguish- ing the two types of Coordinate Structure Complex. In this thesis, I give a syntactic account of the difference between the two, an account that does not rely on structure or processes exclusive to coordinate structures.

description: RESUMO

 

A rânula é uma lesão mucosa causada pela ruptura de glândulas salivares menores, resultando no acúmulo de saliva sob o revestimento da cavidade oral, formando um cisto. Este relato de caso descreve a remoção cirúrgica de uma rânula em um paciente pediátrico, detalhando o diagnóstico, a abordagem terapêutica e o resultado pós- operatório. O paciente, uma criança de 11 anos de idade, apresentava uma tumefação indolor e flutuante no soalho bucal, o que não interferia na alimentação e na fala. Após avaliação clínica e exames de imagem, o diagnóstico de rânula foi confirmado. A equipe odontológica optou por realizar a excisão cirúrgica da lesão sob anestesia local, abordando cuidadosamente para evitar danos às estruturas adjacentes, especialmente o ducto sublingual e o nervo lingual. A técnica escolhida foi a enucleação total da lesão. O acompanhamento pós-operatório mostrou recuperação completa e ausência de recidivas. O caso destaca a importância do diagnóstico precoce e de uma abordagem cirúrgica apropriada, especialmente em pacientes pediátricos, considerando o impacto potencial na qualidade de vida. A intervenção foi eficaz, e foi previsto que a criança terá um bom prognóstico sem complicações a longo prazo.

description: For commercial scale reactors, insufficient mixing is a common phenomenon. Imperfect mixing can have significant impact on product quality. Therefore, improving the efficiency of mixing is an important part of process design and optimization. This study intends to develop a computationally feasible model of a stirred tank reactor, and use this model to improve the mixing efficiency. In this study, a scaled-down version of a real stirred tank reactor is modelled. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based compartmental model was developed through finite volume discretization of mass balance equation. A resolution sensitivity test was conducted to determine the discretization mesh scheme. This model demands less computation than dynamic CFD simulation while shows satisfactory predictive power. A benchmark chemical reaction system was integrated to characterize the mixing efficiency, which is composed of a first-order decay and a parallel second order coupling. Two operating policies were studied to optimize the mixing efficiency. The first is a static policy which employs a constant feeding rate in a semi-batch process, and the second is a dynamic policy which adjusts the feeding rate dynamically.  Feeding point and feeding rate profile are the decision variables. Mixed-integer surrogate optimization was implemented to find the optimum, and the solution was validated with interior point method. The results obtained indicate that the choice of feeding point is independent of feeding rate profile. Additionally, it has been concluded that the static policy results in poor utilization of feed. By implementing the dynamic policy, through the extra degree of freedom, the waste of material is reduced and improvement in the economy of process is achieved.

description: Gallium Nitride is an important semiconductor that many industries use for consumer products such as RF application for celltowers, LED lighting, and HEMTs for power conversion in EV industry. It's the next generation of semiconductor that will be replacing silicon. To produce GaN, many uses the technique called Chemical Vapor Deposition or CVD. It's a technique that let gaseous chemicals to react with one another and deposit molecule onto a substrate. As more molecules deposit, it grows into a crystalline structure known as thin film semiconductor. As the demand for high-powered and high-efficiency electronics increases, it's important to look at the quality and characteristics of these films, such as the growth rate, and uniformity. A computational study can be used to model and optimize the CVD reactor to yield favorable operating conditions. With the aid of experimental data, computational CVD study will grant us very important information to help bring down the cost of GaN based semiconductors. A 3D non-reactive model was used initially for flow and temperature study. Then it evolves into a full chemistry model where the growth rate and the uniformity are part of the study. The results are expected to lead to a better understanding of the basic mechanisms for predicting and optimizing the operating conditions. Commercially software was used, with modifications, and the results obtained are discussed in details.

Evaluation of thermal properties and air void characteristics of porous concrete

description: Porous concrete is becoming an attractive pavement solution due to its great performances in mitigating urban heat island (UHI) effect and managing storm water. As a heterogeneous material, the properties of cement-based porous concrete are complicated to quantify and hard to predict. This thesis focused on the evaluation of thermal properties and air void characteristics of porous concrete.   The thermal properties of aggregates, cement pastes, and porous concretes were measured by transient plate method (TPS) and steady-state heat flow meter method, respectively. X-ray computed tomography (CT) technique was utilized and three-dimensional (3-D) pictures were treated to analyze the microscopic structure of air voids in porous concrete. The existing analytical models were employed to estimate thermal conductivity of pervious concretes and compared to experimental measurements.  The tests results show that thermal conductivity and heat capacity of cement paste increases as water cement ratio increases. Meanwhile, for the same mix design, the thermal properties of different cement paste samples had few variations. However, the porous concrete is very heterogeneous and the same mix design cannot ensure the similar porosity; instead, significant variations of porosity were observed.   The existing analytical results did not show satisfactory prediction results of thermal conductivity as compared to testing results. This indicates the existing models are not suitable to estimate the thermal conductivity of porous concrete. This is because the models ignore the complex microscopic structures of porous concrete.    Based on the CT-scanned images, within the horizontal plane of cylindrical sample, slight differences of normalized projected lengths of air voids were observed in the orthogonal horizontal directions; while the normalized projected length of connected voids in vertical direction was found smaller than those in horizontal directions. The smaller aggregates tend to form the longer air void length in porous concrete. The curvatures of air voids for smaller aggregates are greater than that of larger aggregates. Meanwhile, within the same mix design, the curvature of air voids increases with the increasing of porosity. The porosity and aggregate size do not have significant influences on the ellipticity and tortuosity of air voids within porous concrete. However, with the increase of porosity, the air voids tend to have the greater equivalent diameter.
Localization of subthalamic nucleus from microelectrode recordings with k-means clustering

description: Background: Microelectrode recordings (MERs) of the neural activities are a useful tool for subthalamic nucleus localization (STN) in the process of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, like Parkinson's disease. Currently, the localization of STN relies on manual demarcation performed by a neurophysiologist. It is also di cult to give an exact detection of the STN borders, especially the one between the STN and the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr). As a result, investigators are looking for a multi-feature machine learning method for accurate automated STN localization. We used K-means clustering and a novel set of features that are based on a combination of spike-based and spike independent metrics to address these shortcomings.    Methods: We extracted 18 computational features from 31 bandpass  ltered (0.5 kHz - 8 kHz) MERs of 20 patients who underwent DBS implantation surgery. 12 of these 18 features were spike-based and the other 6 were spike independent. Square root transformation was performed on those positively skewed features. All features were standardized and normalized to scale [0, 1]. We additionally integrated a depth vector into the original feature matrix. The newly formed feature matrix was fed into the k-means clustering algorithm. K was chosen to be 4 because the trajectories, under most circumstances, went through four consecutive structures in the brain. The STN demarcations were predicted by a combination of k-means clustering and feature activity maps. The results were later compared to the decisions of a human expert.    Results: Two of the four newly designed features, i.e. mean inter-spike interval and bursting rate, showed good discriminatory power between STN-SNr region and all the other regions. The modi ed k-means clustering with k = 4 identi ed the STN entry and STN exit with an error of 0:0443 0:2190 and 0:2555+-0:4005, respectively (mean +- standard deviation), and achieved detection sensitivity (error < 0.5 mm) of 93:5% and 80:6%, respectively.    Conclusion: The combination of k-means clustering and a novel feature activity map provided a simple and robust method for STN localization. Further integration of the depth information into the original feature matrix has substantial effect in reducing the noise existed in the clustering results given by k-means clustering alone. Since our unsupervised learning approach does not require manual demarcation on its output, the degree of automation has improved. This is expected to lead into a decreased time  spent inside the operation room and hopefully improve the clinical outcomes.
