Nossidium

description: Genus Nossidium Erichson 1845
Type species
Dermestes pilosellus Marsham, 1802.
Diagnosis
Distinctive genus of Ptiliidae which agrees with Sindosium Johnson, 2007 (two species from the Solomon Islands and one from Sabah), Motschulskium Matthews, 1872 (one species from California) and Bicavella Johnson, 2007 (two species from the Solomon Islands) in having membranous wings without a clear medial constriction and aedeagi with parameres, but is separated from them by their more globular form and the absence of a clear waist at the junction of the elytra and pronotum. Three species of Nossidium have been described from Central and South America: N. issyae Darby, 2016 and N. schuelkei Darby, 2016 from Costa Rica and N. katyae Darby, 2015 from Bolivia. They differ from the two north American species I have studied, N. americanum, Motschulsky, 1868 and N. amoenum Motschulsky, 1868, and from the two Palaearctic species N. pilosellum Marsham, 1802 and N. flachi Ganglbauer, 1898, in being much rounder and less parallel-sided. No external features have been noted to distinguish males and females.

description: Near-modern geography and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations (∼400 ppmv) coupled with temperatures ∼3°C warmer than the pre-Industrial era are suggested to make the mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP; 3.264–3.025 Ma) an important near-future climate change analogue. To date, however, few studies explore mPWP hydroclimatic characteristics for the full southern Africa area using proxy records and/or Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP) climate projections. Hence, we analyse precipitation outputs from 17 PlioMIP phase 2 models to explore southern African mPWP precipitation changes compared to pre-Industrial outputs. Despite diverse inter-model changes, robust signals exist. Most models project annual precipitation declines, up to 0.5 mm/day in the ensemble median. Drying of a similar magnitude for the summer (October-March) and winter (April-September) half-year periods contribute to this change, with models more consistently projecting winter drying. Consequently, the summer and winter precipitation zones (SRZ and WRZ) are projected to shift poleward by ∼1°. For WRZ regions, relatively stable summer precipitation and reduced winter precipitation is projected to result in reduced seasonality. Over SRZ regions, early (late) summer precipitation declines (increases) projected for October–December (January–March) re-organise the summer wet-season to be more concentrated in late summer. Qualitatively good consistency with future projections highlights the mPWPs relevance considering southern Africa’s future climate changes, however, limited model-proxy agreement suggests a need to further (re)assess Pliocene (mPWP) proxy records and/or the PlioMIP2 model boundary conditions towards better capturing mechanisms driving mPWP climatic changes.
Ultra-Broadband Heterodyne Receiver Development for Sub-mm/mm Astronomy
Creators: name: Kim, Jee-Ho
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Heterodyne spectroscopy at millimeter (mm) and sub-mm wavelengths is crucial to studies of the dusty interstellar medium. The Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-mm Array (ALMA), for example, revolutionized our understanding of galaxy, star, and planet formation. The next generation of ALMA’s receiver anticipates broader RF (radio frequency) and IF (intermediate frequency) bandwidths, not only improving observation speed, but also simultaneously capturing more spectral lines.  We present our current effort to develop ultra-broadband heterodyne receivers using superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) mixers. Our target is to combine ALMA bands 5 and 6 (163-275 GHz) and separately cover band 7 (275-373 GHz). The end goal is implementation at the new African Millimetre Telescope and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We show the electromagnetic and quantum mixing simulation performed, the predicted conversion gain and noise temperature, the mixer block and horn design, as well as our concept to simplify sideband separating architecture.  Lastly, we introduce a new ALMA survey of ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) as a scientific application for SIS mixer-based heterodyne receivers. ULIRGs are an extremely infrared bright (>10^12 solar luminosities) population of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) whose star formation rates (SFRs) appear to vary between local and high redshift groups. Intermediate-z (0.2<z<1) ULIRGs and their SFRs fall between these two regimes, making them ideal for probing the transition region between main sequence and starburst SFGs. We characterize the properties and kinematics of a representative intermediate-z ULIRG sample with CO J=2-1 emission to compare them to their local counterparts and investigate the significance of mergers in transitioning SFGs.

The original description by Fairmaire (1897) in the genus Cisseis Gory & Laporte, 1839 may have been sufficient in 1897, but Cisseis is limited almost entirely to the Australasian region with 84 valid species known from Australia, three species from Papua New Guinea, one species from New Caledonia and two species from the Indo­Malayan region, one each from Indonesia and the Philippine Islands (see Barker 2002).

description: In this project, I use petitRadtrans (pRT), a publicly available radiative transfer code, to model the atmosphere of WASP-101b with a focus on potential molecules that could indicate the presence of life. pRT computes transmission and emission spectra of exoplanets and can be used for retrieval of exoplanetary atmospheres. By calculating and analyzing the abundance and transmission of different species at varying temperatures of the planet, I aim to identify possible signs of habitability or biological activity. Specifically, our theoretical modeling of WASP-101b reveals the presence of H2O, a key indicator of potential life-supporting conditions. This project provides valuable insights into the atmospheric characterization of WASP-101b, contributing to the broader goals of SETI by identifying exoplanets with conditions favorable for life.

description: Asajirus sp.
Station. CP 4407, 495m
The single specimen 13mm in length and 5mm in width is a little damaged. The body is covered with sand and has tunic filaments. The 6 large oral lobes are pinnate in two groups: 2 dorsal and 4 ventral. Devoid of tunic the musculature is easily seen with a strong oral sphincter and a wide ventral ribbon extending over the ventral side of the body made of parallel fibres. The neural ganglion is situated over a round neural gland in the narrow dorsal space between both siphons. The internal structure is hardly visible the tissues are not well fixed and dissection was not possible. The pharynx appears as a tube dorso-ventrally flat.The shape of the gut cannot be seen the stomach is damaged. A large renal vesicle contains a concretion. There is one gonad on each side made of a mulberry- shaped testis with a short central papilla. The ovary in an arc begins against the testis and ends close to the atrial aperture. Too many elements are missing to give a species name but this specimen likely belongs to the genus Asajirus.
In the Atlantic Ocean several species have the same gonad shape with a long curved ovary and a massive testis (Monniot C. & F. 1990) but they differ in the musculature design. Snanamyan & Sanamyan (2006) included all these species in Asajirus indicus (Oka, 1913) widely distributed in the Pacific Ocean on the basis of individual variability but we do not follow this opinion.

Remarks
Ptenidium is a well-defined genus of distinctive beetles distributed throughout the world, although most species have been described from the northern hemisphere, with the concentration being in the Palaearctic region. The establishment of a group of Neotropical species with distinctive pronotal and spermathecal characteristics was made by Darby (2016c), who placed them in a separate subgenus, Peruvium. It is to this subgenus that the three new species described below belong.

Artificial Greenhouse Gases as Exoplanet Technosignatures
Creators: name: Sneed, Evan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Atmospheric pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons and NO2 have been proposed as potential remotely detectable atmospheric technosignature gases. Here we investigate the potential for artificial greenhouse gases including CF4, C2F6, C3F8, SF6, and NF3 to generate detectable atmospheric signatures. In contrast to passive incidental byproducts of industrial processes, artificial greenhouse gases would represent an intentional effort to change the climate of a planet with long-lived, low-toxicity gases and would possess low false positive potential. An extraterrestrial civilization may be motivated to undertake such an effort to arrest a predicted snowball state on their home world or to terraform an otherwise uninhabitable terrestrial planet within their system. Because artificial greenhouse gases strongly absorb in the thermal mid-infrared window of temperate atmospheres, a terraformed planet will logically possess strong absorption features from these gases at mid-infrared wavelengths (∼8–12 μm), possibly accompanied by diagnostic features in the near-infrared. As a proof of concept, we calculate the needed observation time to detect 1 [10](100) ppm of C2F6/C3F8/SF6 on TRAPPIST-1 f with JWST MIRI’s Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS) and NIRSpec. We find that a combination of 1[10](100) ppm each of C2F6, C3F8, and SF6 can be detected with a signal-to-noise ratio  5 in as few as 25[10](5) transits with MIRI/LRS. We further explore mid-infrared direct-imaging scenarios with the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets mission concept and find these gases are more detectable than standard biosignatures at these concentrations. Consequently, artificial greenhouse gases can be readily detected (or excluded) during normal planetary characterization observations with no additional overhead.

(Figs 40–43, 45, 47)
Material examined. THAILAND: 1♂ adult and its exuvia (reared specimen), Khlong Khanan, Bang Saphan, Prachuap Khiri Khan province, 11°14′30.98″N 99°21′15.6″E, 91.8 m a.s.l., larva collected on 10.IV.2019, adult emerged on 23. IV. 2019, D. Chainthong leg.
Diagnosis. Sasamoto (2001) recorded male and female specimens of S. malayanus and known larvae from the Malay Peninsula. In this study, we reared the Stylogomphus larva until the emergence of the male adult. We identified the specimen as S. malayanus. This represents the first record of this species from Thailand. Stylogomphus malayanus looks similar to S. delicatus and S. inglisi, although the cerci have a double latero-ventral tooth, and the epiproct is not nearly as deeply incised in ventral view. In addition, the male of S. malayanus can be distinguished from other species by the structure of the anal appendages (Figs 40–42): 1) cerci creamy white, basal 1/3 somewhat thick and ventrally and basally black, tapering to the apex, with two double latero-ventral teeth; and 2) epiproct black, extending relatively straight and not diverged apically, cleft for about half of the length (Sasamoto 2001, 2004; Kompier 2017).

Diagnosis. Anal depression with lateral wings; vascular peristomial loops; ventral thoracic shields; eigth pairs of ventral radiolar appendages; dorsal pinnular appendages absent; dorsal lips elongate, collar ventral incised.
Remarks. Chone rubrocincta Sars, 1862 was transferred to Euchone by Malmgren (1866). Euchone analis and E. rubrocincta have vascular loops. According to Tovar-Hernández (2007), E. analis and E. rubrocincta have vascular loops, which are circular cameras situated dorso-laterally in the peristomium; inside each camera there is an S- or C-shaped vessel; their structure and function has not been studied yet, but they might be irrigated from the central blood vessel. The vascular loops have been recorded also in Fabrisabella (Fitzhugh, 1989).

Developing a Digital Tool for Raising Awareness of Mobile Bullying
Creators: name: Portiannyk, Serhii
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: It is common for social scientists to consider building awareness interventions when faced with a social issue. The aim of which is to share knowledge about the issue at hand and inform society about the dangers, and possible responses. For example, raising awareness of healthy eating, including the benefits thereof and the dangers of lifestyle diseases. Or for raising awareness of information security, including the safe use of information technology resources about the dangers of technology abuse. One of the information security issues at hand is the bullying that takes place on mobile devices (mobile bullying), which has been increasing in recent years, especially among adolescents. The problem with mobile bullying is that it has severe consequences such as suicide and mental health difficulties. Despite current interventions, mobile bullying remains on the rise. The current study followed the design science research process to develop a digital artefact in the form of a chatbot to raise awareness of the mobile bullying social issue. The findings of this study reveal that information systems artefacts such as chatbots make awareness possible because they are easy to use, accessible to mobile device users, and allow for one-onone confidential conversations with the users in the privacy of their mobile devices. The use of a chatbot is also scalable and makes it easy to reach a large audience through mass communication of awareness messages. The conversational element allows the users to direct the conversation, as opposed to it being push notifications.

Chone reayi McIntosh, 1916: 43 –45, Pl. 2, Fig. 10; Pl. 3, Fig. 7; Pl. 4, Figs 9–13.
Material examined. Non-type material. Scotland [NMW.Z] Brae Oilfield: 1997.057.0 0 73, Sta. 95, 9B, fine to medium sand, 110 m, Coll. ERT (4); 1997.057.0 0 75, Sta. 95, 20, fine to medium sand 110 m, Coll. ERT (2).
Diagnosis. Insertion of the branchial lobes not exposed beyond collar. Base of the branchial lobes prominent. Palmate membrane absent. Dorsal pinnular appendages absent. Ventral radiolar appendages: 4 pairs. Anterior peristomial ring lobe not exposed beyond collar, distally entire. Posterior peristomial ring collar: antero-dorsal margin deeply incised, forming two well developed dorsal pockets; two dorsal vascular loops; entire length of mid-dorsal collar margins forms a broad gap; anterior margin of collar crenulated. Thorax with elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae; bayonet chaetae; paleate chaetae with medium-sized mucro; acicular uncini with the main fang surmounted by three rows of teeth equal in size, occupying half the length of main fang; hood present. Glandular ridge on chaetiger 2: narrow. Abdomen with elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae; uncini with the main fang surmounted by teeth equal in size, breast reduced to narrow swelling, handles long.
Remarks. Chone reayi has to be transferred to the genus Jasmineira due to the fact that the species has diagnostic features for Jasmineira: 1) palmate membrane absent; 2) dorsal pinnular appendages absent; 3) dorsal pockets well-developed; 4) vascular loops in the peristomium; and 5) abdominal uncini with main fang covered by equal-sized teeth, breast reduced to narrow swelling, and handles long. McIntosh (1916) illustred the abdominal uncini (Pl. 2, Fig. 10; Pl. 3, Fig. 7) and the base of the branchial crown (Pl. 4, Figs 12–13), both sui generis of Jasmineira. Jasmineira is often confused with Fabrisabella Hartman, 1969, because both have abdominal uncini with a reduced narrow breast and long handle; however, they differ in that Fabrisabella lacks dorsal radiolar appendages and bayonet chaetae; both features present in Jasmineira (Fitzhugh, 1989).

Material examined
Holotype
ECUADOR • ♂; Napo, Cosanga, Camp; 2100 m a.s.l.; 9 Jul. 2017; droplet; J. McClarin leg.; QCAZM.
Description
SIZE. Habitus length 1.25 mm (Fig. 3A). COLOUR. Dark brown/black, shining, appearing polished, glabrous, legs and antennae dusky yellow/ brown.
HEAD. Setose, with two rounded tuberosities at base and short median raised ridge anterior to these (Fig. 3G), width across eyes 0.37 mm; antennomeres III–XI length 0.29 mm; mentum chaetotaxy unclear, sides rounded to anterior margin, prementum with 5–6 setae.
PRONOTUM. Length 0.38 mm, width 0.56 mm, sides evenly rounded, with tufts of hairs on corners of posterior margin (Fig. 3C), and without lateral setae and foveae on anterior and posterior margins.
ELYTRA. Length 0.80 mm, width 0.59 mm, widest just anterior to middle, tapering posteriad.
SCUTELLUM. Small, triangular, with short medial keel on anterior margin.
PROSTERNUM. Very narrow in front of procoxae, which are separated by long, narrow, parallel-sided keel (Fig. 3E).
MESOVENTRITE. Collar reticulate, with wide, shallowly tapering medial extension to mid-keel and keel, which are setose and rather flatter than in usual Ptenidium type (Fig. 3F), posterior margin turned sharply posteriad at humeri; mesoventrite posterior margin evenly rounded to small tooth at humeri.
METAVENTRITE. Length 0.22 mm, width 0.50 mm, disc simple, with scattered pubescence, metepisternal sutures not visible, posterior margin between metacoxae straight, length 0.13 mm, coxae without coxal plates.
WINGS. Of usual ptiliid type.
MALE GENITALIA. Aedeagus (Figs 3 Ba–Bb).
