Myrcia sericea

description: 3.11. Myrcia sericea G.Don (Don 1832: 844). Type:— BRAZIL. Maranhão. No specimen cited in the protologue.
George Don collected in Rio de Janeiro and in Maranhão in 1823. He described these three species of Myrcia from Maranhão almost in sequence. They are currently accepted (POWO 2024) but their identity is unknown as no type are cited. Their protologues are short and the information is insufficient to be sure that the species are indeed Myrcia, except for the inflorescence. The inflorescence is described as a racemose panicle, which agrees with the standard Myrcia inflorescence but that occurs in other Myrtaceae genera as well.
TL-2 cites the following herbaria as housing Don’s collections: BM (main collection), and BR, CGE, CGG, COI, E, GOET, K, LD, MO, OXF, PH. We have searched the BM, CGE, K and OXF collections personally for the types. No types and no other related specimens were found during the preparation of the present study.

description: This dissertation is a cultural history of weather data that charts the evolution of data collection and visualization practices from the 1847 Smithsonian Institution Meteorological Project to NASA's 2012 GOES-14 satellite. While the history of meteorological science has tended to approach the rise of standard data practices through a study of institutional or government-centered histories, this dissertation positions volunteer, amateur, and cooperative practices at the center of data-making rather than at its edge. The first two chapters analyze data collection and visualization practices from 1800-1870, arguing that popular modes of weather data collection and visualization began by employing the sensing body as the first instrument of data labor. The remaining three chapters chart how data practice strategically moved away from local networks of touch to global and semi-galactic collection, transmission, and visualization modes. Rooted in historical archival practice as well as traditional literary methodologies, this dissertation bridges methodological and topical gaps between new media studies and environmental history by analyzing a popular genealogy of environmental data in the United States. Taking data as a form of culture, this project finally argues that we should study weather data as a cultural practice not to deconstruct the veracity of data, but rather to make full sense of the ways humans are implicated in weather and climate systems, from modes of measurement to the release of greenhouse gases.
Essays on accounting information systems and accounting choice

Year: 2016

description: The first essay investigates whether the implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems affects the audit repot lag, the time period between a company’s fiscal year end and the date of the audit report. Prior research has shown that the implementation of ERP systems can significantly affect a firm’s business operations and processes. However, scant research has been conducted on the relationship between ERP implementation and the timeliness of external audits, such as audit report lags. While some of the alleged benefits of ERP are closely related to removing impediments contributing to audit report lags, others argue that the complex mechanisms of ERP systems create greater complexity for control and audit. The test results indicate that overall a firm’s ERP implementation is negatively associated with audit report lag. However, this negative association is significant only at fourth and fifth years after initial ERP implementation. These results imply that the use of ERP systems by client firms may help decrease the audit report lag, but it takes time for the full impact of the firms’ accounting systems to be realized. The second essay examines the consequences resulting from the adoption of the fair value option (FVO) of SFAS 159 and explore the intentions of firms that adopt FVO. The primary objective of SFAS 159 is to mitigate the earnings volatility. However, there are also arguments implying that FVO could in fact increase earnings volatility. Thus, I first examine whether adopting FVO helps improve earnings volatility. Also, prior studies report the negative relationship between earnings volatility and the accuracy of earnings prediction. Therefore, the second hypothesis tests whether adopting FVO has an impact on the analysts’ forecast accuracy. The test results indicate that there is a positive association between FVO and earnings volatility and the relation can be amplified depending on the size of gains or losses resulting from the FVO. Also, the results indicate that the analysts’ forecast error of FVO adopter is greater than that of non-FVO adopters. I test two more hypotheses to explore the intention of firms’ decision to adopt FVO: opportunistic intention and informative intention. However, I do not find results which confirm my hypotheses except for limited evidence for the opportunistic intention.
Three approaches to automating taxonomy, with emphasis on the Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies)

Year: 2016

description: Taxonomy-the field charged with naming and classifying organisms-forms a foundation for biological research. An understanding of the species on Earth is needed for informing biodiversity research, conservation efforts, management strategies, and global policy. In recent decades, a "taxonomic impediment" has arisen: there is an urgent need to know the millions of yet-undiscovered species, while funding for the science charged with this task, taxonomy, and the number of trained taxonomists are declining. This work aims to provide three software tools for taxonomists that allow them to work more efficiently and effectively, reducing this impediment.     First, a system for automatically landmarking images of specimens for geometric morphometric studies was introduced, which could greatly reduce the time required to manually landmark images for these studies while also increasing the possible sample size of such studies. The system's landmarking error, however, was extremely variable on test images of the wings of dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata), and was ultimately too large (300-500 px) to compete with manual landmarking at this time. Second, a method was presented for automatically standardizing and extracting descriptive features from images of insect wings in order to quantify the appearance of the wings. The standardization method was successful in converting scans of odonate wings into consistently-formatted square images, automatically. Then, features describing the color, texture, and shape of the wings were able to be extracted, producing a small set of 663 coefficients that were able to distinguish between species.  Finally, a system called Odomatic was presented and tested for automatically identifying Odonata to species from images of their wings, using the feature extraction method combined with machine learning techniques. Odomatic was able to make classifications between 32 species with expert-level (up to 92%) accuracy, making it useful for quickly identifying specimens.    The tools presented here will be deployed for use by odonate researchers through the website OdonataCentral.org, but will also be released as open-sourced Python scripts so that they can be customized to be implemented on other taxonomic groups. This work will enable taxonomists and other interested parties to make easier morphological comparisons and faster identifications.

description: Students seeking higher education outside their country of origin is a growing phenomenon. The United States is the largest host nation but has been losing market share as other countries increase their efforts to recruit international students. Surprisingly, after several years of decline, the rate of growth in students from Saudi Arabia has surpassed the rate of growth for all foreign students choosing higher education institutions (HEIs) in the United States since 2006. The history of international education in the United States and the current state of education in the Middle East provided background for an analysis of the political factors that resulted in the change. This dissertation also assessed the mechanisms of choice and motivations of Saudis students that led to attending an HEI in the United States. Student choice theory, expectancy theory, economic theories including human capital theory and comparative advantage, students as consumers, and social constructs such as intergroup contact and diffusion of innovation theory were used to design semi-structured interviews among various stakeholder and an online survey of Saudi students to learn how and why they chose the HEI they currently attended. Saudi students were influenced in their decision to study in the United States by the availability of scholarships from the Saudi government and by the implementation of the SEVIP visa system that facilitated their choice of country. In addition, Saudi students were asked about their experiences at HEIs in the United States and their attitudes toward the United States, western social and political norms and possible modernization of Saudi society. These results were compared to survey data from students who remained in Saudi Arabia for higher education. The comparison shows that Saudi students in the U.S. have a more favorable opinion of the United States than before studying here, increased approval for greater gender equality and western values such as respect for human rights and women's education and employment. This research contains recommendations for HEIs that want to recruit Saudi students and improve their integration into the campus community.
Personalized recommendations in mobile business environments

description: Recent years have witnessed a rapid adoption of smart mobile devices and their increased pervasiveness into people's daily life. As a result of this quick development, the demand for better mobile services is increasing with an even faster speed. Recommender systems become essential to deliver the right services to the right mobile users. For instance, Point of Interest (POI) recommendation enables us to recommend the right places to the right users based on their preferences. Also effective mobile app recommendation will help mobile users to make better utility of their smartphones.     In this dissertation, we identify several unique challenges for recommendation in mobile business environments, and then introduce how we use advanced data mining techniques to address these challenges.  First, rich semantic information such tags and descriptions are associated with POIs in location based services. To this end, we proposed a  topic and location aware POI recommender system by exploiting associated textual and context information. Second, many mobile services are location-dependent, which means a user's choice can be influenced by location-dependent factors, in particular are the  user mobility and  geographical influence.  User mobility refers to the factor that a user's interest would change among different regions.  Geographical influence is related to the cost of the option.  Therefore, it is important to capture a user's spatial choice behavior to make better recommendations. Along this line, we have proposed a geographical probabilistic factor model framework, which strategically captures user mobility and geographical influence, to model user spatial choice behavior. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Third, services are usually organized into hierarchy structure such as category hierarchy. We then introduce a structural user choice model (SUCM) to learn fine-grained user choice patterns by exploiting hierarchy structure. Moreover, we design an efficient learning algorithm to estimate the parameters for the SUCM model.  Evaluation on an app adoption data demonstrates that our approach can better capture user choice patterns and thus improve recommendation performance.  Finally, privacy becomes a big issue for mobile service adoption. In particular, mobile apps could have privileges to access a user's sensitive resources (e.g., contact, message, and location). As a result, a user chooses an app not only because of its  functionality, but also because it respects the user's privacy preference. We present the  first systematic study on incorporating both interest-functionality interactions and users' privacy preferences to perform personalized app recommendations. Moreover, we explore the impact of different levels of privacy information on the performances of our method, which gives us insights on what resources are more likely to be treated as private by users and influence users' behaviors at selecting apps.

description: Anomaly detection is critical for the secure and reliable operation of industrial control systems. As our reliance on such complex cyber-physical systems grows, it becomes paramount to have automated methods for detecting anomalies, preventing attacks, and responding intelligently. {This paper presents a novel deep generative model to meet this need. The proposed model follows a variational autoencoder architecture with a convolutional encoder and decoder to extract features from both spatial and temporal dimensions. Additionally, we incorporate an attention mechanism that directs focus towards specific regions, enhancing the representation of relevant features and improving anomaly detection accuracy. We also employ a dynamic threshold approach leveraging the reconstruction probability and make our source code publicly available to promote reproducibility and facilitate further research. Comprehensive experimental analysis is conducted on data from all six stages of the Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) testbed, and the experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our approach compared to several state-of-the-art baseline techniques.
A cognitive approach to studying the development of preschool aggression

Year: 2016

description: The study of aggressive behavior has received a great deal of attention in the development literature. Although it is clear that aggression appears early in development, and childhood aggression is a well-known predictor of future engagement in maladaptive behavior, research on aggressive behavior with preschool-aged children is still limited. Improving our knowledge about what motivates children to engage in aggressive behavior is vital in developing effective strategies and interventions aimed at reducing childhood aggression. In Study 1 we documented the incidence of physical, verbal, and relational acts of aggression in preschool-aged children. The results of Study 1 highlight the surprising complexity and context of aggressive behavior in this young age group. In Study 2, we successfully designed and implemented a new task aimed at assessing patterns of social information processing in preschool-aged children. Results of Study 2 demonstrate that problematic patterns of social information processing in preschoolers are associated with higher teacher ratings of proactive and reactive physical aggression. In Study 3 we examined how children's theory of mind abilities, along with their social information processing, contribute to young children's aggressive behavior. Results from Study 3 demonstrate that the relationship between patterns of social information processing and aggressive behavior differ as a function of children's theory of mind, with theory of mind performance mediating the relationship between children's patterns of social information processing and their aggressive behavior. More specifically, problematic responding to questions assessing patterns of social information processing, coupled with poor performance on select Theory of Mind items was related to higher levels of physical aggression. Likewise, appropriate social information processing patterns, coupled with good performance on select Theory of Mind items was related to higher levels of relational aggression.

description: This dissertation has three essays. The first essay examines several analytical models that can be used in the insurance industry. We develop a continuous auditing framework for the insurance industry’s claims payment process. We propose analytical models to detect anomalies in the already paid claims and in the premium calculations. The second essay proposes a framework for developing the Audit Data Standards (ADSs) for specific industries. We apply the framework on the insurance industry. In specific, we apply it on claim payment business cycles of the life / disability insurance industry. We then use these ADSs to develop an interactive auditor dashboard. The third essay examines a possible way for the auditor to overcome data limitations. We examine the added value of using the macroeconomic indicators to improve the prediction and error detection performance of the statistical models used by the auditor through two research questions. our first research question investigated the effect of using macroeconomic indicators in the prediction models by comparing the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) with and without the use of the macroeconomic indicators. our second research question investigated the effect of using macroeconomic indicators in the prediction models when the independent variables contain undetected errors. We tested each research question in three different situations; the macroeconomic variable is used individually, collectively, or with the peer data. our results came in favor of the macroeconomic indicator’s use, specifically when used along with the peer data.

Measuring a gravitomagentic effect with the triple pulsar PSR J0337+1715

description: To the first post--Newtonian order, the orbital angular momentum of the fast--revolving inner binary of the triple system PSR J0337+1715, made of a millisecond pulsar and a white dwarf, induces an annular gravitomagnetic field which displaces the line of apsides of the slower orbit of the other, distant white dwarf by $-1.2$ milliarcseconds per year. The current accuracy in determining the periastron of the outer orbit is $63.9$ milliarcseconds after 1.38 years of data collection. By hypothesizing a constant rate of measurement of the pulsar's times of arrivals over the next 10 years, assumed equal to the present one, it can be argued that the periastron will be finally known to a $\simeq 0.15$ milliarcseconds level, while its cumulative gravitomagnetic retrograde shift will be as large as $-12$ milliarcseconds. The competing post--Newtonian gravitolectric periastron advance due to the inner binary's masses, nominally amounting to $74.3$ milliarcseconds per year, can be presently modelled to an accuracy level as good as $\simeq 0.04$ milliarcseconds per year. The mismodelling in the much larger Newtonian periastron rate due to the quadrupolar term of the multipolar expansion of the gravitational potential of a massive ring, whose nominal size for PSR J0337+1715 is $0.17$ degrees per year, might be reduced down to the $\simeq 0.5$ milliarcseconds per year level over the next 10 years. Thus, a first measurement of such a novel form of gravitomagnetism, although challenging, may be somehow feasible in a not too distant future.

description: Big Data is revolutionizing the human healthcare system by providing a way to organize the influx of information as well as potentially find patterns through new algorithms that they were unable to use before a unified system was available. This paper aims to defend the reasons why veterinarians should adopt a Big Data system.  We urge veterinarians to make the switch over to electronic health record systems so that their patient’s anonymous health information can be pooled to discover epidemiological trends within the data.  This will dramatically improve animal healthcare like it has been shown to do for human medicine.

description: For many, losing weight the old fashioned way, with proper diet and exercise, is insurmountable. The reliance on pharmaceuticals to lose weight has dramatically increased in popularity over the years as rates of obesity rise. When being overweight becomes a health risk, pharmaceuticals can be prescribed. The doctor decides whether the benefits to losing weight exceed the risks associated with taking the drug. We surveyed a small sample of Rutgers University students and staff on how much weight they would need to lose to risk experiencing the side effects of drugs intended for weight loss and those drugs that are prescribed for some other condition, but that have weight loss as a side effect. Most would not consider taking drugs unless they were looking to lose more than 51 pounds.  However, some would consider taking Adderall, to lose smaller amounts of weight.

description: Unhealthy food choices being made in and outside of the home is likely a strong contributor of the high incidence of overweight and obese adults and children. In order to halt this growing epidemic in children, schools have implemented nutritional programs which teach kids how to make healthy food choices by hands-on learning. However, cultural practices, socioeconomic factors, and lack of nutritional education by the adults preparing the food, greatly influence and contribute to poor food choices that are learned and made at home. We are suggesting that schools attempt to educate the parents, perhaps by having the children bring “homework” home that involves hands-on meal preparation with the parent or guardian.

description: Although medical schools take every precaution in selecting benevolent individuals to be trained as physicians, an international study has revealed that 5% of doctors worldwide have recurrent issues that warrant disciplinary action by medical boards. These issues include violations of professionalism, unethical behavior, negligence, and in some cases criminal intent, reflective of deficiencies in non-cognitive skills. Medical schools largely rely on the interview process for selecting candidates that possess the critical non-cognitive skills of interpersonal ability, maintenance of integrity, ethical behavior, and professionalism. Most utilize the traditional personal interview, which despite its popularity, has little evidence supporting its efficacy and a growing body of evidence supporting the contrary. Recognizing this dilemma, some schools have adopted the Multiple Mini Interview format, which addresses several issues inherent in the traditional interview. Akin to speed dating, candidates are interviewed by multiple isolated interviewers in order to establish more reliable assessments of their non-cognitive skills.

description: Denial of climate change being caused by human activity, or anthropogenic climate change, is thought to be divided between political lines with Republicans generally denying climate change while Democrats believing that climate change not only exists but is caused, at least in part, by humans.  There appears to be a correlation between being religious and being a climate change denier. According to a Pew Research poll, 47 percent of Catholics acknowledge that climate change is anthropogenic, with 62 percent of Catholic Democrats but only 24 percent of Catholic Republicans believing in the anthropogeneity of climate change. The source of this denial may be that the deniers believe that that man is all that is to be valued. Imago Dei, the predominant intrinsic value system of religious monotheists, excludes non-humans, leading to neglect of the environment, even if it is closely tied to human beings. We have examined further this relationship between religion, the imago dei intrinsic value system, and anthropogenic climate change.  Converting anthropogenic climate change deniers may be a matter of including the environment as being inseparable from human life, so that those that hold imago dei close, can now start taking care of the world they live in.

description: Extended periods of restrictive dieting is a common practice amongst bodybuilders preparing for a competition. We have found that post competition, bodybuilders fall into a trap of binge eating which leads to weight gain and depression. By conducting and publishing our survey results which demonstrate this link between binge eating behaviors and post competition, we hope to increase awareness of this really negative aspect of bodybuilding competition.

description: Raising funds for hippotherapy programs in non-profit organizations is an essential component to success, yet many non-profits overlook its complexity. Hippotherapy programs necessitate fundraising for many reasons including the general lack of coverage from insurance companies for hippotherapy programs.  When faced with the task of fundraising there are many aspects that a separate management team for fundraising must undertake. There are different levels and types of donors that must be integrated and investigated in order to run a successful program and carry out the organization’s specific mission.  Mane Stream, Inc. of Oldwick, New Jersey does just that and we aided in one level of their fundraising efforts by creating a photographic calendar product to benefit the non-profit organization.

Bitta Osuna, 1984, stat. resurr.
Remarks. The rank of the genus Bitta Osuna, 1984 is reinstated. Packauskas & Schaefer (2001) placed Bitta as a synonym of Anisoscelis, recognizing three species groups, one of which included all the former Bitta species and no others. Brailovsky (2016) accordingly treated Bitta as a subgenus of Anisoscelis and described an additional species in the subgenus Bitta. The reinstatement of the genus is based on Brailovsky (2016), and the diagnoses presented for the two subgenera Anisoscelis (Anisoscelis) and Anisoscelis (Bitta) now serve as diagnoses for the two respective genera.
The following new or restored combinations are proposed:
Bitta affinis (Westwood, 1840), comb. reins. (Fig. 7)
Bitta alipes (Guérin-Méneville, 1833), comb. reins. (Fig. 8)
Bitta gradadia (Distant, 1881), comb. reins. (Fig. 9)

The Kirkwood-Bethe hypothesis for bubble dynamics, cavitation and underwater explosions
Creators: name: Denner, Fabian

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Pressure-driven bubble dynamics is a major topic of current research in fluid dynamics, driven by innovative medical therapies, sonochemistry, material treatments, and geophysical exploration. First proposed in 1942, the Kirkwood-Bethe hypothesis provides a simple means to close the equations that govern pressure-driven bubble dynamics as well as the resulting flow field and acoustic emissions in spherical symmetry. The models derived from the Kirkwood-Bethe hypothesis can be solved using standard numerical integration methods at a fraction of the computational cost required for fully resolved simulations. Here, the theoretical foundation of the Kirkwood-Bethe hypothesis and contemporary models derived from it are gathered and reviewed, as well as generalized to account for spherically symmetric, cylindrically symmetric, and planar one-dimensional domains. In addition, the underpinning assumptions are clarified and new results that scrutinize the predictive capabilities of the Kirkwood-Bethe hypothesis with respect to the complex acoustic impedance experienced by curved acoustic waves and the formation of shock waves are presented. Although the Kirkwood-Bethe hypothesis is built upon simplifying assumptions and lacks some basic acoustic properties, models derived from it are able to provide accurate predictions under the specific conditions associated with pressure-driven bubble dynamics, cavitation and underwater explosions.

Investigating organizational supports and outcomes of interprofessional team training initiatives in a medical teaching hospital
Creators: name: Earland, Tracey Vause
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Healthcare systems are challenged to provide safe, effective, patientcentered care in an ever-changing environment. Studies show that lack of teamwork, communication, and collaboration may contribute to adverse patient and health outcomes (Manojlovich, (2009; Weaver et al., 2014, Jones, Skinner, High, & Reiter-Palmon, 2013). Consequently, more healthcare systems are launching team-training programs in efforts to improve clinical outcomes. Despite team-training efforts, adoption of interprofessional teamwork in practice is slow to transpire. Team training alone is not sufficient to facilitate and sustain teamwork behavior in day-to-day practice. The purpose of this correlational study was to investigate the relationship between key organizational supports (e.g., team climate, team-training, formalization tools) with team-functioning and patient outcomes in an urban medical teaching hospital. Few empirical studies have provided insight into the relationship between these variables. Many studies overlook the organizational context and its effect on team functioning. In this study, researchers used the short-version Team Climate Inventory (TCI-14) and the Brief TeamSTEPPS® Teamwork Perception Questionnaire (Brief T-TPQ) to survey 88 (73.3%) interprofessional health providers on six hospital work units. Retrospective patient-reported data (n=957) were analyzed to examine association between patient satisfaction and interprofessional teamwork. Results found a strong association between team climate and team-functioning on the six hospital work units; a small to moderate relationship between team-training intervention and interprofessional teamwork; no relationship between number of communication tools used on hospital units and team function; and no significant correlation between patient satisfaction and health provider’s perception of teamwork. However, from the patient’s experience, results showed a significant and strong interaction between interprofessional team functioning and patient’s satisfaction. This research adds to the body of knowledge supporting the relevance and implementation of interprofessional teamwork in healthcare environments in efforts to improve quality of care and patient satisfaction. Study outcomes highlight two important considerations: 1) the need for organizational supports to enhance and sustain interprofessional teamwork; and 2) the importance of recognizing the relationship between team functioning and the patient’s experience as reflected in the patient satisfaction survey.
Evaluation of the validity of cholesterol as a biomarker for suicide in veterans
Creators: name: Reuter, Charles
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of total cholesterol as a biological marker for suicidality in a veteran sample.    Rationale: Previous research suggests low total cholesterol may increase the risk of suicidality in susceptible individuals by altering properties of the membranes in the brain. The low cholesterol levels appear to affect serotonin receptor exposure and cause a reduction of serotonin in the brain cells. This alters the reciprocal relationship between the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems and leads to an increase of impulsive, aggressive, self-directed aggressive behaviors, and suicidality in susceptible individuals.   Methods: Records of veterans seen at the Coatesville Veterans Affairs Medical Center for suicidality between 2009 to 2015 were reviewed. The variables identified for the study were extracted and analyzed. A total of 188 veteran records were analyzed.   Results: The cholesterol levels of veterans reporting suicide ideation or a suicide attempt were significantly lower than the group reporting neither [F(2, 185) = 30.19, p = .000]. There was a significant decrease in cholesterol in veterans who reported suicide ideation or a suicide attempt, when compared to an earlier visit which they were not reporting any such suicidality (t(186) = 7.61, p < 0.05). When attempting to define the characteristics of veterans who reported either suicide ideation or a suicide attempt, it was clear that one group was younger, leaner, had more anxiety, sleep problems, and education than the other group.    Conclusions: There is compelling evidence that there may be a link between suicide ideation or a suicide attempt and a change in total cholesterol levels in veterans. More prospective research is needed to assess the reduction in total cholesterol levels to help clinicians identify veterans who are most at risk for suicide ideation or a suicide attempt.
