description: We compute the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the deuteron in the holographic QCD model of Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto. Previously, the leading contribution to the EDM of nucleons was computed, finding opposite values for the proton and the neutron which then cancel each other in the deuteron state. Here we compute the next-to-leading order contribution which provides a splitting between their absolute value. At large $N_{\rm c}$ and large 't Hooft coupling $λ$, nuclei are bound states of almost isolated nucleons. In particular, we find that in this limit the deuteron EDM is given by the splitting between proton and neutron EDMs. Our estimate for the deuteron EDM extrapolated to the physical values of $N_{\rm c}$, $λ$, $M_{\rm KK}$ and $m_q$ is $\mathcal{D}_D = -0.92\times 10^{-16} θ e \cdot {cm}$. This is consistent, in sign and magnitude, with results found previously in the literature and obtained using completely different methods.

The Use of Public Plazas in China and the United States: Measuring the Differences Using Direct Observation in Boston and Chongqing
Creators: name: Mao, Maozhu
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: China’s development during the last several decades has happened at an amazing speed, and public plazas in China have changed considerably. For example, public dancing has become a very popular activity in most public plazas, and many more people than before are using these new plazas. However, some plazas are less popular than others. Therefore it is important to know what are the elements that affect people’s use of China’s public plazas? In the United States, William H. Whyte’s research proposed seven elements in public space that affect people. This study tried to answer the following questions: 1) Do William H. Whyte’s seven elements also apply to China? 2) How are urban public plazas used differently in the United States and China?

description: In the article, some spatial problems in agriculture are presented on some typical cases. Agriculture is just one of the activities performed in rural areas nowadays, although it still uses a predominant part of space and has important influence on all other aspects of life and work in rural areas as well as on the cultural landscape. Besides, among all space users, agriculture is the most dependent on natural conditions and also on socioeconomic and demographic conditions. To achieve optimal and with other sectors adjusted space use, long term planning considering spatial aspects is needed also in agriculture. The needs for spatial planning in agriculture have been brought about by the new Law on Spatial Planning, according to which agriculture has to express its interests and adjust them with other sectors, and also by the process of rationalisation of agricultural production and its adjustment to resources in space, the most suitable utilization of resources and their protection, agrarian structure improvement, agricultural policy measures planning etc.

description: The equivalent photon content of polarized and unpolarized nucleons (protons, neutrons), utilized in Weizsäcker--Williams approximations, are presented. For this purpose a new expression for the elastic photon component of a polarized nucleon is derived. The inelastic photon components are obtained from the corresponding momentum evolution equations subject to the boundary conditions of their vanishing at some low momentum scale. The resulting photon asymmetries, important for estimating cross section asymmetries in photon induced subprocesses are also presented for some typical relevant momentum scales.

description: We study a class of inhomogeneous and anisotropic $G_2$ string cosmological models. In the case of separable $G_2$ models we show that the governing equations reduce to a system of ordinary differential equations. We focus on a class of separable $G_2$ M-theory cosmological models, and study their qualitative behaviour (a class of models with time-reversed dynamics is also possible). We find that generically these inhomogeneous M-theory cosmologies evolve from a spatially inhomogeneous and negatively curved model with a non-trivial form field towards spatially flat and spatially homogeneous dilaton-moduli-vacuum solutions with trivial form--fields. The late time behaviour is the same as that of spatially homogeneous models previously studied. However, the inhomogeneities are not dynamically insignificant at early times in these models.

description: The Slovenian system of management of private forests has been increasingly showing its deficiencies vis-à-vis its European counterparts. Considering the large number of forest owners with small and fragmented forest holdings, unfulfilled felling potential and forest cultivation plans, many accidents at work in private forests, etc., it would be sensible to use the experience of Austria, where the efficiency of management of private forests has been significantly enhanced by promoting of business consolidation of forest owners and supporting rural development measures. These measures should be incorporated in the new national forest development programme and pave their way to the Slovenian rural development plan for the period 2007- 2013. This applies particularly to projects in mountain areas, where limited natural resources make the generation of income from agriculture more difficult than in flatland areas. The development of business consolidation of forest owners and stronger integration of forestry into rural development calls for a clear division of competences between the public forestry service operating within the Slovenian Forest Service and the forestry service run by the Slovenian Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry, and for the provision of conditions for their operation.

description: European Union (EU) programs envisage local strategies of development as a crucial element for development. EU funds can be supplemented and cannot be the only source of financing of local development. EU policies can have substantial impact on local development particularly in peripheral/less developed areas. The EU pre-enlargement supports and instruments are completed in 2006. Among the new EU sources for local development are structural funds, European Social Fund and European Regional Development Fund. Besides regional programs, there are opportunities from other EU programs such as EQUAL, Leader+ and Urban II. Territorial administrative regional/sub-regional levels are important for EU policies, economic development on the territory and supports for regional development. The use of regions provides opportunities for access to EU funds and cooperation with regional institutions. Up to 2006 Slovenia is eligible for funds of Objective 1 from European structural and cohesion policies. It is unclear whether Slovenia is eligible for these funds EU during financial perspective 2007-2013. The Slovenian level of GDP per capita is greater than the benchmark of the 75% of the EU average. The implications can be for north-eastern parts of Slovenia vis-à-vis the cross-border areas in Hungary and probably in Croatia.

description: In the framework of a nonrelativistic chiral quark model, we continue to study the mass spectra of the fully-heavy $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}$ and $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ tetraquarks. In the present calculations, two structures, meson-meson [$\bar{Q}Q$][$\bar{Q}Q$] and diquark-antidiquark [$QQ$][$\bar{Q}\bar{Q}$] ($Q$ = $c$ or $b$), and their mixing, along with all possible color, spin configurations are considered. The calculations suggest that no bound state can be formed for $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}$ and $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ systems. However, resonances are possible because of the color structure. Several resonances are predicted and their stabilities are checked using the real scaling method.

description: In this study mouse heads (33 individuals from 28 families, all-male, C57BL/6J inbred strain) were scanned using a computer tomograph (micro-CT—vivaCT 40; Scanco, Bruettisellen, Switzerland) at a resolution of 21 cross-sections per millimeter. 44 three-dimensional landmarks were positioned in the skull (the landmarks are described in (Pallares et al. 2015)). The raw 3D landmark coordinates were obtained with 3DSlicer (Fedorov et al. 2012) (http://www.slicer.org). We analyzed the component of symmetric shape variation while discarding the asymmetry via the method of object symmetry (Mardia et al. 2000; Savriama and Klingenberg 2011). A generalized Procrustes analysis (GPA) was used to extract shape from the landmark coordinates by removing extraneous effects of location, orientation, and position using functions 'gpagen' and 'bilat.symmetry' from the 'geomorph' R package. A principal component analysis (PCA) was used on the Procrustes coordinates' covariance matrix to extract the PC scores later used as shape data in subsequent analyses. The multivariate regression of the shape data (Procrustes coordinates) on SNORD116 copy number was carried out via function procD.lm from the geomorph R package v3.0.7 (Adams and Otarola-Castillo 2013).

description: The role of the American theatrical lighting designer is to be a visual collaborator on the design team. While other designers can produce elements that the rest of the team can hold or listen to such as a model of the set by the set designer or a sound effect from the sound designer, the lighting designer must rely on his or her ability to communicate his or her ideas. Visual lighting elements are complex ideas and must be clearly stated and planned for if the production is to be cohesive. This thesis presents the goals to communicate verbally, collaborate, and implement lighting ideas effectively with the design team of Refugee, written by Milan Dragicevich, as well as to maintain an overall visually pleasing and immersive experience for the audience.
HIGH PERFORMANCE SILVER DIFFUSIVE MEMRISTORS FOR FUTURE COMPUTING
Creators: name: Midya, Rivu
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: Sneak path current is a significant remaining obstacle to the utilization of large crossbar arrays for non-volatile memories and other applications of memristors. A two-terminal selector device with an extremely large current-voltage nonlinearity and low leakage current could solve this problem. We present here a Ag/oxide-based threshold switching (TS) device with attractive features such as high current-voltage nonlinearity (~1010), steep turn-on slope (less than 1 mV/dec), low OFF-state leakage current (~10-14 A), fast turn ON/OFF speeds (<75/250 ns), and good endurance (>108 cycles). The feasibility of using this selector with a typical memristor has been demonstrated by physically integrating them into a multilayered 1S1R cell. Structural analysis of the nanoscale crosspoint device suggests that elongation of a Ag nanoparticle under voltage bias followed by spontaneous reformation of a more spherical shape after power off is responsible for the observed threshold switching of the device. Such mechanism has been quantitatively verified by the Ag nanoparticle dynamics simulation based on thermal diffusion assisted by bipolar electrode effect and interfacial energy minimization.

description: The intersection between dislocations and a Ag(111) surface has been studied using an interplay of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and molecular dynamics (MD). Whereas the STM provides atomically resolved information about the surface structure and Burgers vectors of the dislocations, the simulations can be used to determine dislocation structure and orientation in the near-surface region. In a similar way, the sub-surface structure of other extended defects can be studied. The simulations show dislocations to reorient the partials in the surface region leading to an increased splitting width at the surface, in agreement with the STM observations. Implications for surface-induced cross slip are discussed.

description: The strong cosmic censorship hypothesis has recently regained a lot of attention in charged and rotating black holes immersed in de Sitter space. Although the picture seems to be clearly leaning towards the validity of the hypothesis in Kerr-de Sitter geometries, Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black holes appear to be serious counter-examples. Here, we perform another test to the hypothesis by using a scalar field perturbation non-minimally coupled to the Einstein tensor propagating on Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter spacetimes. Such non-minimal derivative coupling is characteristic of Horndeski scalar-tensor theories. Although the introduction of higher-order derivative couplings in the energy-momentum tensor increases the regularity requirements for the existence of weak solutions beyond the Cauchy horizon, we are still able to find a small finite region in the black hole's parameter space where strong cosmic censorship is violated.

description: We discuss all contributions from Zweig-rule-satisfying SU(3)-symmetric inelastic FSI-induced corrections in B decays to $ππ$, $πK$, $K\bar{K}$, $πη(η')$, and $K η(η')$ . It is shown how all of these FSI corrections lead to a simple redefinition of the amplitudes, permitting the use of a simple diagram-based description, in which, however, weak phases may enter in a modified way. The inclusion of FSI corrections admitted by the present data allows an arbitrary relative phase between the penguin and tree short-distance amplitudes. The FSI-induced error of the method, in which the value of the weak phase $γ$ is to be determined by combining future results from $B^+,B^0_d,B^0_s$ decays to $Kπ$, is estimated to be of the order of $5^o$ for $γ\approx 50^o-60^o$.

description: The interaction kernel in the Bethe-Salpeter equation for quark-antiquark bound states is derived from the Bethe-Salpeter equations satisfied by the quark-antiquark four-point Green's function. The latter equations are established based on the equations of motion obeyed by the quark and antiquark propagators, the four-point Green's function and some other kinds of Green's functions which follow directly from the QCD generating functional. The B-S kernel derived is given an exact and explicit expression which contains only a few types of Green's functions. This expression is not only convenient for perturbative calculations, but also suitable for nonperturbative investigations.

Achieving Perfect Location Privacy in Wireless Devices Using Anonymization
Creators: name: Montazeri, Zarrin
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: The popularity of mobile devices and location-based services (LBS) have created great concerns regarding the location privacy of the users of such devices and services. Anonymization is a common technique that is often being used to protect the location privacy of LBS users. This technique assigns a random pseudonym to each user and these pseudonyms can change over time. Here, we provide a general information theoretic definition for perfect location privacy and prove that perfect location privacy is achievable for mobile devices when using the anonymization technique appropriately. First, we assume that the user’s current location is independent from her past locations. Using this i.i.d model, we show that if the pseudonym of the user is changed before O(n2/(r−1)) number of anonymized observations is made by the adversary for that user, then she has perfect location privacy, where n is the number of users in the network and r is the number of all possible locations that the user might occupy. Then, we model each user’s movement by a Markov chain so that a user’s current location depends on his previous locations, which is a more realistic model when approximating real world data. We show that perfect location privacy is achievable in this model if the pseudonym of the user is changed before O(n2/(|E|−r)) anonymized observations is collected by the adversary for that user where |E| is the number of edges in the user’s Markov model.

description: A slight modification of one axiom of quantum theory changes a reversible theory into a time asymmetric theory. Whereas the standard Hilbert space axiom does not distinguish mathematically between the space of states (in-states of scattering theory) and the space of observables (out-``states'' of scattering theory) the new axiom associates states and observables to two different Hardy subspaces which are dense in the same Hilbert space and analytic in the lower and upper complex energy plane, respectively. As a consequence of this new axiom the dynamical equations (Schrödinger or Heisenberg) integrate to a semigroup evolution. Extending this new Hardy space axiom to a relativistic theory provides a relativistic theory of resonance scattering and decay with Born probablilities that fulfill Einstein causality and the exponential decay law.

description: We provide an analytically treatable model that describes in a unified manner income distribution for all income categories. The approach is based on a master equation with growth and reset terms. The model assumptions on the growth and reset rates are tested on an exhaustive database with incomes on individual level spanning a nine year period in the Cluj county (Romania). In agreement with our theoretical predictions we find that income distributions computed for several years collapse on a master-curve when a properly normalised income is considered. The Beta Prime distribution is appropriate to fit the collapsed data and it is shown that distributions derived for other countries are following similar trends with different fit parameters. The non-universal feature of the fit parameters suggests that for a more realistic modelling the model parameters have to be linked with specific socio-economic regulations.

FACTORS INFLUENCING IMPACT OF BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENTS OF THE EMERALD ASH BORER
Creators: name: Murphy, Theresa
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: Agrilus planipennis, the emerald ash borer (EAB), is a destructive invasive forest pest decimating North American ash trees. Population-wide management of EAB focuses on biological control, with the introduction of four parasitic wasps; one egg parasitoid, Oobius agrili and three larval parasitoids- Spathius galinae, Spathius agrili and Tetrastichus planipennisi. This thesis examines some of the factors influencing the establishment of these larval biocontrol agents. Chapter 1 examines the relationship between woodpeckers and the parasitoids S. agrili and T. planipennisi. Both woodpeckers and these parasitoids attack the larval stage of EAB, which means their impacts overlap and potentially interact. To examine this relationship, I established parasitized larvae on ash trees and then used screening to exclude woodpeckers from some sections of the tree. Results show that while there is no evidence of discriminatory feeding for or against parasitized larvae, the presence of parasitized larvae changes woodpecker feeding behavior at a stand-level. I hypothesize that this change is due to these larval parasitoids being a low-food reward and that parasitism contributes to a change and decrease in patch quality, causing woodpeckers to quit foraging sooner than usual.
My second chapter focuses on Spathius galinae, which was recently approved for release in the north central and northeastern US in 2015, to provide additional population control. Spathius galinae’s long ovipositor (4-5.3mm) is theoretically expected to help target EAB in ash with larger diameters and bark thicknesses. Using experimentally infested logs of varying thicknesses in the laboratory I tested the limits and preferences for oviposition of S. galinae, to understand its potential impact on EAB. My results demonstrated that although parasitism by S. galinae drops significantly when bark thickness reaches 8 mm, this prevents S. galinae only from reaching EAB larvae in my largest ash trees (S. galinae will play a vital role in providing additional control and in supporting ash regeneration in aftermath areas of EAB invasions.
Planning for Balanced Growth and Balanced Budgets: Exploring a Mixed Methods Framework to Assess Urban Infill Capacity and Value in Context
Creators: name: Stromsten, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: Established communities pursue revitalization to transform struggling downtowns into vibrant hubs and walkable neighborhoods. Vacant and underused parcels can help communities grow sustainably by using excess capacity in existing infrastructure. However, many communities experience limited urban infill activity due to persistent bias favoring low-density development at the community’s edges. In small communities perceptions and processes can favor low-density growth. Infill development can be complicated due to site conditions and neighborhood context, yet planners work with ad hoc techniques and limited staff time. There is a need for efficient ways to identify suitable sites and generate information to use for community decision-making around redevelopment.
The primary aim of this research is to develop an Urban Infill Assessment Framework (UIAF). It is organized around three questions: Can the framework assess infill’s potential in a small post-industrial downtown? Is it replicable? Does the framework change how local stakeholders perceive infill potential? To answer these questions this study will develop and test a UIAF in Turners Falls, MA, then test resulting information through stakeholder interviews. The framework uses mixed-methods to integrate social values, fiscal efficiency, and spatial awareness through procedures organized in three Phases. Phase I examines quantitative and qualitative information (e.g., local planning documents, tax data, site visits, and consultations with local experts) to produce mapped context data, and local building typologies with corresponding tax yield per acre. In Phase II these components are used in scenario building, to calculate composite capacity of infill acreage and annual tax yield for defined areas. Finally, interviews with ten stakeholders test how the information influences perceptions of infill in Turners Falls.
As a result of this research, planners should be able to replicate the framework. Based on preliminary results, the relevance of an infill assessment tool to planning practice is threefold: It promotes strategic land-use planning by generating information to compare development projects across diverse locations, scales, and spatial configurations. It supports structured application of concepts uniquely suited to managing urban environments. Improved redevelopment tools and expertise can offset procedural and perceptual factors that favor low-density growth and sprawl. 
Explorations into Machine Learning Techniques for Precipitation Nowcasting

description: Recent advances in cloud-based big-data technologies now makes data driven solutions feasible for increasing numbers of scientific computing applications. One such data driven solution approach is machine learning where patterns in large data sets are brought to the surface by finding complex mathematical relationships within the data. Nowcasting or short-term prediction of rainfall in a given region is an important problem in meteorology. In this thesis we explore the nowcasting problem through a data driven approach by formulating it as a machine learning problem.
State-of-the-art nowcasting systems today are based on numerical models which describe the physical processes leading to precipitation or on weather radar extrapolation techniques that predict future radar precipitation maps by advecting from a sequence of past maps. These techniques, while they can perform well over very short prediction horizons (minutes) or very long horizons (hours to days), tend not to perform well over medium horizons (1-2 hours) due to lack of input data at the necessary spatial and temporal scales for the numerical prediction methods or due to the inability of radar extrapolation methods to predict storm growth and decay. Given that water must first concentrate in the atmosphere as water vapor before it can fall to the ground as rain, one goal of this thesis is to understand if water vapor information can improve radar extrapolation techniques by giving the information needed to infer growth and decay. To do so, we use the GPS-Meteorology technique to measure the water vapor in the atmosphere and weather radar reflectivity to measure rainfall. By training a machine learning nowcasting algorithm using both variables and comparing its performance against a nowcasting algorithm trained on reflectivity alone, we draw conclusions as to the predictive power of adding water vapor information.
Another goal of this thesis is to compare different machine learning techniques, viz., the random forest ensemble learning technique, which has shown success on a number of other weather prediction problems, and the current state-of-the-art machine learning technique for images and image sequences, convolutional neural network (CNN). We compare these in terms of problem representation, training complexity, and nowcasting performance.
A final goal is to compare the nowcasting performance of our machine learning techniques against published results for current state-of-the-art model based nowcasting techniques.

description: Research studies show that an average American consumes 3,400 to 4,500 mg/day of sodium in their diet against the dietary recommendation of 1,500 to 2,300 mg/day. The majority of this sodium comes from processed foods. Excess sodium in the diet can potentially cause health issues such as hypertension, heart attack, kidney failure, and bone problems. The objective of this study is to understand sodium diffusion in a protein model using turkey breast meat and determine the opportunities of its reduction by changing the process conditions and combining table salt with other sodium salts.
Since proteins are a complicated system and there are very few research studies available on meat in this area, it is necessary to understand the trend of sodium diffusion in the meat while cooking in presence of salt at different temperatures followed by analyzing the change in the diffusion in presence of different sodium salts with anions larger than sodium chloride. Since protein denaturation can have impact on the diffusion process, the denaturation profile for turkey breast meat protein was analyzed by Differential Scanning Colorimetry (DSC). The DSC results were visually confirmed by SEM analysis. After obtaining results from DSC and SEM analysis, the processing temperature of 4oC, 23oC, 50oC, 70oC and 90oC was implemented to obtain the diffusion trend before, during, and after protein denaturation. 1-inch meat cubes were cooked in 5% (0.86M/L) salt solution at different time and temperature combinations. Sodium analysis was performed on Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) and the results were confirmed by ICP-OES. This study showed that the sodium content of the processed samples was not proportional to the treatment temperature.
The Study was also conducted to analyze the effects of sodium salts with larger anions than sodium chloride on sodium diffusion during thermal applications. Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Sodium Sulfate and Monosodium Glutamate were incorporated in the study. Sodium content in the samples processed in this salts showed 32-46% reduction compared to those processed in sodium chloride. Since sodium phosphate is widely used in the meat industry, it may have the most potential to partially replace salt. Texture analysis was performed on the samples cooked in sodium chloride and sodium phosphate solutions in order to determine changes in textural properties. A brief sensory test was also conducted with 10 participants to investigate the preference of sodium phosphate incorporation in the meat and to identify any after taste.

description: Lonicera caerulea var. edulis, known as “blue honeysuckle” or “Haskap,” is a deciduous shrub that belongs to the Caprifoliaceae family. Characterized by the high cold hardiness and high quality of fruit, it has become a novel cash crop in cold regions worldwide. The lack of available chloroplast (cp) genome information limits studies of its molecular breeding and phylogeny. Here, the complete cp genome of Lonicera caerulea var. edulis was assembled and characterized for the first time. It was 155,142 bp in length with 38.43% of GC content, including 23,841 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs), an 88,737 bp large single-copy region (LSC), and an 18,723 bp small single-copy region (SSC). A total of 132 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 39 tRNA genes were annotated. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that L. caerulea var. edulis was closely related to L. tangutica. These data and results provide a valuable resource for the development of breeding tools and genetic diversity studies for L. caerulea.

description: The last years have seen a great development in our understanding of particle physics at the weak scale. Precision electroweak observables have played a key role in this process and their values are consistent, within the Standard Model interpretation, with a light Higgs boson with mass lower than about 200 GeV. If new physics were responsible for the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, there would, quite generally, be modifications to this prediction induced by the non-standard contributions to the precision electroweak observables. In this article, we analyze the experimental signatures of a heavy Higgs boson at linear colliders. We show that a linear collider, with center of mass energy \sqrt{s} <= 1 TeV, would be very useful to probe the basic ingredients of well motivated heavy Higgs boson models: a relatively heavy SM-like Higgs, together with either extra scalar or fermionic degrees of freedom, or with the mixing of the third generation quarks with non-standard heavy quark modes.

description: Genus Microphasma Woltereck, 1909
 Microphasma Woltereck, 1909: 153. Pirlot 1929: 52. Stephenson & Pirlot 1931: 539. Bowman & Gruner 1973: 17. Vinogradov et al. 1982: 105.
 Type species. Microphasma agassizi Woltereck, 1909 by monotypy. The unique type, a female measuring about 6.5 mm (according to Woltereck’s figure), could not be found in any major European museum or in the USNM and is considered lost. Fortunately, this is a very distinctive species, readily distinguished by Woltereck’s description and figure. The type locality is the eastern tropical Pacific, off Peru [11º20’S 88º55’W]; Albatross Stn. 4663.
 Diagnosis. Body length of females up to 9.0 mm, of males up to 8.0 mm. Head without rostrum. Eyes small, poorly discernable. Antennae 1 relatively short; in female slightly shorter than head and first pereonite combined, slightly longer in male. Antennae 2 slightly shorter than A1 with enlarged antennal gland. Mandibles with body narrowed distally; palp as long as body, third article only marginally shorter than second. Gnathopoda simple. Pereopods 3–5 subchelate with dactylus closing against distally broadened propodus. Pereopods 6 & 7 simple.
Monospecific.
 Sexual dimorphism. Males are readily distinguished from females by relatively larger first antennae that are as long as the head and first two pereonites combined if measured ventrally. Males also have small genital papillae, medially near the base of the seventh pereopods and in females the pereon is slightly more inflated.
 Remarks. This is a very distinctive genus, readily distinguished by the subchelate pereopods 3–5. It is very similar to Microphasmoides Vinogradov, 1960, especially in the general habitus, antennae and structure of the mouthparts, differing mainly in that pereopods 3 & 4 are simple in Microphasmoides.
 Microphasma is similar to Lanceola in the general structure of the mouthparts but the second antennae are similar to that found in Chuneola in that they have an enlarged antennal gland.
