Short description
Epiphytic or lithophytic; long-creeping filiform rhizomes, bearing sparsely distributed roots and reddish brown trichomes, and widely separated pending fronds; fronds stipitate, up to 17 cm long, more often less than 10 cm long, deltoid to ovate, pinnate-pinnatifid to bipinnate-pinnatifid, without false veins or folds; sori numerous, paratactic, twice or more longer than wide, cylindrical with slightly dilated mouth.
Global distribution
Tropical Africa and the western Indian Ocean, or pantropical (see note).
Distribution in Comoros
Anjouan, Grande Comore.

Note
This species, firstly considered restricted to tropical Africa and the western Indian Ocean, would be included into a large complex associating species from the Pacific and Neotropics (Ebihara et al. 2009). The species can be confused by its growth-form and gross frond shape and division with Crepidomanes bipunctatum and C. inopinatum. Both Crepidomanes species are rootless contrary to P. borbonicum but some Polyphlebium specimens can appear rootless if roots are not well developed. The sorus features are nevertheless more diagnostic. Sorus lips are clearly triangular in C. bipunctatum and not in P. borbonicum, and sori of P. borbonicum are twice or more longer than wide while sori of C. inopinatum are more or less as long as wide, always significantly less than twice longer (see Fig. 2C).

Headmost Accent Wins
Creators: name: Revithiadou, Anthoula
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1999

description: 'Headmost Accent Wins' investigates the accentuation of lexical accent systems within the framework of Optimality Theory. The central claims of the book are: first, words with a lexical accent have unpredictable stress but predictable prosodic shape, and second, prosodic structure is built on the basis of morphological structure.A lexical accent is an autosegmental feature which is phonetically realized as stress or pitch according to language-specific constraints. Even though the specification of accents is free and unrestricted, independent prosodic constraints on word form limit their distribution. As a result, accented words have a strictly binary prosodic structure. Freedom of the input, on the one hand, and constraint ranking on the other derive a confined set of 'ideal' prosodic forms for words with lexical accents.Conflicts among lexical accents for prominence are resolved by morphology. The prosody-morphology interface centers around the principle of prosodic compositionality. It is articulated in terms of a 'theory of head dominance', which states that the accent of the morphological head of the word prevails over other accents. The theory of head dominance is tested in a number of morphological constructions in languages with different types of morphology (i.e. fusional, polysynthetic). In addition, it is shown that head dominance voids the need for the complex derivational machinery of cyclic and non-cyclic levels. Moreover, it directly derives the effects of the metaconstraint ROOTFAITH >> SUFFIXFAITH (McCarthy & Prince 1995) and, more importantly, it accounts for the counterexamples to this metaconstraint.This book is of interest to metrical phonologists, linguists working on the prosody-morphology interface and researchers interested in Greek, Russian and the Salish languages.
The Locus of Exceptionality: Morpheme-Specific Phonology as Constraint Indexation
Creators: name: Pater, Joe
Publisher: name: Graduate Linguistics Student Association, University of Massachusetts
Year: 2007

description: This paper argues for an analysis of exceptions in Optimality Theory in terms of lexically specific markedness and faithfulness constraints. This approach is shown to capture locality restrictions, distinctions between exceptional and truly impossible patterns, distinctions between blocking and triggering, and distinctions between variation and exceptionality. It is contrasted with other OT analyses of exceptions, in particular those involving lexically specified rankings (or cophonologies), and those that disallow lexically specific faithfulness constraints. The data discussed are from Finnish and Piro. A learnability account of the genesis of lexically specific constraints is also provided.
Paradoxical Strength Conditions in Harmony Systems
Creators: name: Cole, Jennifer S.
name: Kisseberth, Charles W.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1995

description: Many harmony systems impose conditions on the triggers and targets of harmony that involve prosodic features such as stress, length, or peripherality in the prosodic word domain.  Such conditions serve to distinguish a 'strong' anchor (SA) from a 'weak' anchor (WA) for a given feature, and are responsible for asymmetries in the class of segments that may trigger or undergo harmony. Yet, languages employ prosodic conditions on the strength of an anchor in different ways, deriving what appears to be a paradoxical typology of harmony systems, as in (1).(1) A partial typology of prosodic conditions on targets and triggersWA's are good triggers: Mellieh'a Maltese round and palatal harmony.SA's are good triggers: Tigre palatal harmony (Palmer 1956, 1962); Wolof RTR and ATR harmonies (Ka 1988); Pasiego and Tudanca Montañes vowel raising (Hualde 1989).WA's are good targets: Qormi Maltese palatal and round harmony (Peuch 19&8); Woleaian raising (Poser 1982); Wolof ATR harmony; Standard Maltese palatal and round harmony (Peuch 19&8).SA's are good targets: Menomini ATR harmony (Bloomfield 1962); Coeur d'Alene progressive RTR harmony (Reichard 1938); Lena Bable Spanish metaphony (Hualde 1989).
Bone scan biomarker for prostate cancer treatment response assessment

description: Treatments that target pathways that contribute to prostate cancer such as MET and VEGF kinases show promise in reducing tumor burden on bone scans. However, only simple visual lesion counts have been applied to assess treatment efficacy in FDA clinical trials to-date. Lesion count is only able to reliably detect progression, not early response, since during response lesions may shrink without changing in number, or may break into smaller components, thus appearing to increase the burden by simple count. There are also limitations in reproducibility, image intensities can vary between time points due to differences in tracer dosing levels or scan timing, and adjacent lesions can be counted as one or multiple resulting in intra- and inter-observer variability. We seek to translate and validate a new computer-aided, quantitative bone scan biomarker for use in clinical trial response assessment. The computer system performs intensity normalization to a standard bone scan atlas to improve reproducibility and then computes cumulative tumor area and intensity-weighted area measures of overall tumor burden. This computerized approach represents a significant innovation over current visual scoring methods. It brings three key benefits: (a) an objective and reproducible measure based on normalization, (b) earlier detection of change (since size and intensity changes may precede changes in lesion count), and (c) an ability to assess early treatment response. We hypothesize that the quantitative bone scan biomarker, that assesses cumulative tumor area and normalized intensity-weighted area, is associated with changes in bone pain and PSA levels, and can discriminate between treatment and control groups in a castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cohort. To test the hypothesis we will compute the biomarker in a CRPC cohort of 60 subjects (30 treated and 30 controls) with expert reader verification of detected bone lesions. We will test for statistical differences in the quantitative biomarker scores between the treatment and control groups, and for association with bone pain, narcotic use, and PSA outcomes within the treatment group. This developmental project will begin clinical translation of a unique biomarker in prostate cancer and allow the established multidisciplinary team to enter this oncology domain. The pilot study will lay the foundation for larger validation studies and prospective application of the biomarker in clinical trials.
Pharyngeal related non-lexical vowels in Sephardic Modern Hebrew
Creators: name: Pariente, Itsik
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: This paper examines non-lexical vowels in Sephardic Modern Hebrew. It is argued that two kinds of vowel, which are triggered by the pharyngeal consonants, should be identified: (a) true epenthetic vowels that emerge on the surface to repair illicit (marked) syllable structures. (b) 'Echo-vowels' that are created by overlapping a vowel and a pharyngeal consonant. These vowels do not repair illicit syllable structures, but rather ease the perception of clusters containing a pharyngeal. These vowels are not syllabic and phonological processes ignore them.

A Realization Optimality-Theoretic approach to full and partial identity of forms
Creators: name: Xu, Zheng

Publisher: name: Oxford University Press
Year: 2011

description: In this paper we present a Realization Optimality-Theoretic account of full and partial identity of forms, i.e., paradigmatic syncretism and cases in which lexemes share the same inflectional formative. Our approach involves both output-to-output correspondence constraints and realization constraints that associate morphosyntactic feature values with morphophonological forms. We show that Realization Optimality Theory (Xu 200&) offers a unified account of these phenomena. Additionally, we argue that Realization Optimality Theory has advantages over several alternative approaches such as feature impoverishment-plus-insertion (Noyer 1998), rules of referral (Zwicky 1985, Stump 1993), and two different models of OT morphology proposed by Müller (200&, 2008). We argue for an autonomous morphological component and also discuss related issues such as the morphology-phonology interface. We suggest that morphology and phonology are distinct components of the grammatical architecture; morphology precedes phonology by default while the morphological and phonological components overlap

description: The simillimum -group
Antenna with 12 segments. Sting appendage triangular or dentiform. Mandibles usually sculptured with striation or shagreening, rarely smooth. Anterior clypeal margin entire, without a median notch or impression. Frontal carinae variable, ranging from strong to vestigial but only rarely completely absent. Scrobes with all grades from absent to strong. Antennal scapes with SI <100. Propodeum armed usually with a pair of teeth or tubercles, never with spines, unarmed in one species; the propodeal teeth at most only as long as the metapleural lobes. Middle and hind tibiae without standing hairs of any description but usually with sparse appressed pubescence. Body hairs sparse, all dorsal surfaces with short, stout, blunt hairs, without fine or acute pilosity. Petiole narrowly nodiform in profile, in dorsal view usually as broad as or broader than long. Small to minute species, usually yellow or yellowish brown in colour, rarely otherwise.
This group is based on the Ethiopian region where about 15 species are present. Five species occur in Madagascar, two of which are endemic (p. 155) and one of which is shared with the Ethiopian region. The remaining two species are efficient tramp-forms of African origin which also occur in the New World, and are dealt with here.
Of the two there is no doubt that simillimum is the most successful. It has been widely recorded throughout the tropics and subtropics and also occurs fairly frequently in the temperate zones in zoological and botanical gardens and in conservatories and other constantly heated buildings.

Elephants and Optimality Again: SA-OT accounts for pronoun resolution in child language

Publisher: name: LOT, Netherlands
Year: 2009

description: Children display a surprising delay in correctly resolving pronouns, while they employ Chomsky's binding principles correctly in production and in resolving reflexives. We account for the mistakes as performance errors that are predicted by an Optimality Theoretical model implemented using simulated annealing (SA-OT). Our experiments suggest three novel explanations of the facts (see section 6). Additionally, the Optimality Theory-Harmony Grammar connection is also explored: the behaviour of the HG-based performance model converges to the OT-model if the base of the exponential weights grow large.

Assimilation, antigemination, and contingent optionality: the phonology of monoconsonantal proclitics in Polish
Creators: name: Bakovic, Eric
name: Pająk, Bożena
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2009

description: Bakovic (2005) analyzes the avoidance of 'sufficiently similar' adjacent consonants as the interaction of independent antigemination and assimilation processes. We present evidence from the phonology of monoconsonantal proclitics in Polish in support of the primary consequence of this analysis, that any conditions on antigemination or assimilation will also be conditions on 'sufficient similarity' avoidance. These conditions concern the segmental contexts in which geminates are disallowed in Polish and the variability of one of the assimilation processes involved. The analysis is further corroborated by the coincidence of two changes in progress: as the rate of variable assimilation has gone down, so has the rate of 'sufficient similarity' avoidance.

description: Gliomas are infiltrating primary brain tumors. The most common unfortunately the highest grade glioma is glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), which is characterized by microvascular amplifications. Patients with GBMs have dismal survival outcome, regardless multimodality therapy. Development of an effective anti-GBM therapeutic agent is an urgent need. The morphology of blood vessels in GBM is highly irregular, involving recruitment of host pre-existing vasculature into tumor site as well as vasculogenic mimicry, a tumour vascularization via endothelial differentiation by highly invasive and genetically dysregulated tumor cells. Recent year’s anti-VEGF therapy significantly improved progression-free survival, although not overall survival. Our lab recently discovered that EFEMP1 has a strong tumor suppression effect in high grade glioma-derived cell lines and primary cultures, via gene overexpression or a direct administration of EFEMP1 protein in xenograft models. However, there is a dose-dependent positive impact of EFEMP1 on glioma invasion via increasing of matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2) level. This aspect of EFEMP1 function could attenuate its suppressive effect and potential therapeutic application of EFEMP1. This study is focusing on identification of EFEMP1 pro-invasive effect in glioma. Aim 1. Determine if EFEMP1 interaction with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3) is responsive for activation of MMP2. TIMP3 is a member of tissue inhibitor of MMP that binds EFEMP1. We will overexpress TIMP3 in glioma cells transfected to overexpress EFEMP1 and use zymography and matrigel invasion assays to determine if TIMP3 counteract EFEMP1 effect on MMP2 and cell invasion, respectively. Aim 2. Identify the domain in EFEMP1 responsible for its invasion-enhancing property. We will examine MMP2 and invasion activity by glioma cells transfected with a serial deletion constructs of EFEMP1. This study is to abolish pro-invasion effect through modification of EFEMP1 protein. If Aim 1 is achieved, Aim 2 study can be further be tested for TIMP3 binding region as readout for future selection, design, and test of small molecule to interfere with the binding and inhibit glioma invasion. Alternatively, we may engineer EFEMP1 into a strong anti-tumor weapon in form of peptide to treat malignant glioma, and identify novel tumor suppression mechanism of EFEMP1.

description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act as potent regulators of gene expression, are implicated as developmental regulators, and play roles in cell fate commitment and cell proliferation. They have been found to be expressed differently in cancer tissues. Better understanding of the regulation function of miRNAs during cancer development may help to discover effective routes to prevent the diseases or control the progress. Since cancer cells are extremely heterogeneous, and the bulk miRNA analysis performed on a large cell population would conceal the cell-to-cell differences that determine each cell’s special properties, study miRNA expression in a small number of cells (< 500) may speed up the functional study by clearly correlating the change in miRNA expression to the unique disease development stages. This is challenging due to the low expression levels of miRNAs and the great difficulty in amplifying the short miRNAs using conventional methods. Herein, we propose a one-step miRNA analysis microsystem (miRAM) to efficiently extract and purify miRNAs from cells and then isothermally amplify them for reliable detection. The whole process will be accomplished on a single microchip which will contain multiple channels to achieve high-throughput analysis. The sample processing will be driven by a magnetic field, lowering the overall cost of operation and simplifying the handling. Silica magnetic beads will be used to extract all nucleic acid materials from cells and judiciously chosen elution conditions will separate the small RNA fraction from the larger fragments to improve purity and reduce the false positive signals during amplification. Subsequently, selected miRNA strands will be amplified by a modified rolling circle amplification method. No sophisticated temperature control units are needed for the microchip; and the amplification is more robust. The real-time amplification signal will be detected by a fluorescence microscope. The whole process offers high sensitivity, high simplicity, multiplexity, with little sample consumption. Hundreds of cells will be sampled from different cancer cell lines to compare the expression of selected miRNAs to study how they regulate cancer development.

description: Genus Trichomanes L. (Linnaeus 1753)
As evidenced by Bauret et al. (2015), several paleotropical species formerly attributed to Trichomanes (the genus is mostly neotropical) are morphologically close to Abrodictyum spp. However, the single Comorian species T. boivinii Bosch is clearly distinct from Abrodictyum pseudorigidum occurring in the archipelago (see Fig. 4). The rhizomes of T. boivinii are short-creeping while those of Abrodictyum pseudorigidum are mostly suberect to erect. The main differences concern the ultimate segment shape. In T. boivinii, ultimate segments are multi-veined, ovate, spatulate and more or less toothed. In Abrodictyum pseudorigidum, ultimate segments are uni-veined, linear, and entire with tapered ends. Compared to Tardieu-Blot (1951) and Roux (2009), T. boivinii is new for the archipelago, although the species had already been reported by Kuhn (1868).

Note: Three herbarium sheets of this gathering are kept at P, and although Christensen did not indicate the holotype in his publication, the holotype is established based on Art. 9.3 of the code (McNeill et al. 2012): the specimen P00466432 is indeed the only specimen examined by Christensen for his original description since he mentioned that any rhizome is unknown to him (the two other specimens P00466430 and P00466431 have rhizomes).
Short description
Terrestrial or lithophytic, often near streams; thick short-creeping rhizomes with robust roots and bearing clustered erect fronds; fronds well stipitate, up to 45 cm long, lanceolate to ovate, bipinnate to bipinnatepinnatifid, with multi-veined ovate to spatulate ultimate segments; numerous sori, paratactic, obconic to campanulate with a slightly dilated mouth.

Note
The sheet P00466427 consists of two complete individuals with fertile fronds, and specimens are representative of the morphology of the species. Moreover, this sheet was probably intended to be the holotype, as indicated by the handwritten annotation ‘Original’ by Bonaparte. For all these reasons, P00466427 was selected as the lectotype specimen for Trichomanes latipinnulata Bonap.

description: Scientific evidence has demonstrated the correlation between oxidative stress and the onset of cancer and other age-related diseases. Both unregulated endogenous production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exogenous oxidant exposures have been linked to genetic mutations and misregulation of gene expression and cell growth. While oxidant-mediated damage of cellular components leads to the loss of control over processes including those involved in regulating cell growth and survival, the precise targets and mechanisms responsible for the observed effects remain unclear. Post-translational protein modifications serve critical roles in the modulation of these pathways under normal conditions and in response to stress signals. In particular, the oxidation of cysteine residues has emerged as a widespread mechanism for the modulation of protein function by redox-active molecules. The goals of this work are to identify the entire subset of proteins in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that are susceptible to cysteine oxidation and thereby establish a better understanding of fundamental cellular pathways that are most likely to be altered when oxidative stress conditions are encountered. Evolutionary conservation of critical eukaryotic cell growth and survival pathways, combined with the availability of robust molecular tools, make S. cerevisiae an ideal model for high-throughput investigations of the complex interplay between oxidative stress and signal transduction. An unbiased survey for reactive cysteine-containing proteins will be performed using a library of S. cerevisiae strains with tandem affinity purification (TAP)-tagged versions of each open reading frame (ORF) in the genome. These strains permit screening virtually any protein for cysteine oxidation using simple thiol-reactive probes and standard immunoblot and gel mobility shift techniques. Identified potential targets will then serve to launch future investigations aimed more precisely at defining functional consequences and molecular details. A parallel objective is to develop methodology that will be of general use to scientists in the discovery of new proteins and pathways regulated by oxidative stress. Highlighting these oxidant-sensitive proteins may serve to reveal diagnostic or prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.

description: The caespitum -group
Antennae with 12 segments, sting appendage triangular to dentiform. Anterior clypeal margin entire, without a median notch or impression. Frontal carinae short, sometimes virtually absent, never extending back as far as posterior margins of eyes and generally much shorter. Antennal scrobes absent. Metanotal groove almost always impressed in profile, even if only weakly so. Propodeal spines short, usually reduced to a pair of triangular teeth, sometimes reduced to tubercles. Nodes of both petiole and postpetiole in dorsal view at least as broad as long, usually distinctly broader than long. Scapes and hind tibiae dorsally without long, erect or suberect hairs but often with suberect or subdecumbent-appressed pubescence. Dorsal surfaces of alitrunk, pedicel segments and gaster with elongate fine hairs at least in part, never with all hairs short, stout and blunt. Sculpture of head of fine, regular longitudinal rugulation or reduced, in some species the head virtually unsculptured.
This is the dominant and only endemic group of Tetramorium in the Palaearctic region. One species, caespitum, has been introduced into North America (M. R. Smith, 1943; Brown, 1957) and it is now well established in the U. S. A. with a wide range on that continent (Creighton, 1950). The taxonomy of the caespitum-group is in a very poor state, with over 100 names, the majority described as infraspecific or infrasubspecific forms of caespitum itself and many of the names based on meaningless characters or represented by descriptions which can only be called valueless. Because of this a formal description of caespitum is not given here, but the species as it occurs in North America should be easily recognizable from the following summary as it is the only member of its group established on that continent.

description: Red alga of the genus Plocamium are a rich source of fascinating and diverse polyhalogenated monoterpenes. These unusual natural products exist in acyclic and cyclic forms, and display a wide range of potentially useful biological activities, including cytotoxicity and anti-fungal, molluscicidal, and insecticidal activities. We are particularly interested in two isomeric hexahalogenated acyclic monoterpenes, one of which was originally isolated by Faulkner from Plocamium cartilagineum and described in 1975. A third diastereomer was isolated from the sea hare Aplysia dactylomela by König and revealed reasonable activity against three human cancer cell lines with IC50 values of about 1 µg/mL. Recent reisolation of two of these Plocamium compounds by the Gerwick group at UC San Diego/Scripps Institution of Oceanography enabled evaluation of their cytotoxicity by the Valeriote group at Henry Ford Medical Center. The isomeric compounds, assigned the temporary names A6a and A6b, were found to be selectively toxic for murine and human cancer cell lines over normal tissue controls; furthermore, they were selectively active against cell lines representative of solid tumors over leukemia cell lines. Although not tremendously potent, the particular selectivities for colon, lung, ovarian, and breast solid tumors, along with the apparent lack of general toxicity in initial mouse studies, warrants further study of these compounds. Unfortunately, the low abundance from natural sources has precluded in vivo studies of therapeutic efficacy. The goal of this proposal is to define an effective synthesis strategy for the synthesis of A6a and A6b to solve the supply problem for in vivo testing, as well as to generate a variety of synthetic analogs for identification of the pharmacophore of this fascinating and unusual class of natural products. We present a plan that takes advantage of our laboratory’s excellent track record in the synthesis of polyhalogenated natural products, and that should be amenable to the synthesis of suitable quantities of the natural products and analogs for complete pharmacological evaluation.
