Culicoides inyoensis

description: Culicoides (Diphaomyia) inyoensis Wirth and Blanton
(Fig. 75, 128, 211, 212)
 Culicoides (Diphaomyia) inyoensis Wirth and Blanton, 1969a: 565 (female, male; fig. female antenna, palpus, wing, eye separation, spermathecae, leg, male genitalia, parameres; California). Atchley and Wirth 1979: 541 (key; numerical characters; female; male genitalia; fig. female antenna, palpus, wing, eye separation, spermathecae, leg, male genitalia, parameres). Wirth et al. 1985: 18 (numerical characters; fig. female wing).
 Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Wing pattern extensive; r 2 dark; large distal pale spots in r 3, m 1, m 2, cua 1, but may be diffuse and indistinct; distal pale spot in r 3 centered at ~0.7 the distance from apex of costa to apex of M 1, extending into distal 0.1 of cell; M 1 dark; pale spot barely on M 2 at ~0.4, spreading anterior into m 1; spermathecae subequal, with sclerotized necks; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite with two widely divergent processes, footlike; basal arms of aedeagus each with spurlike process on posterior margin, median process of aedeagus slightly tapering to blunt tip, aedeagal ratio ~0.5; parameres separate, each with bulbous submedian lobe and subapical fringe of spines.
 Distribution. California, Utah (Garfield, Grand counties).
 Adult behavior. The mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood; and though its hosts are unknown, the SCo presence on only the proximal flagellomeres suggests it is mammalophilic.
 Symbionts. Male and female C. inyoensis were parasitized by larval mites (Table 10), which species may indicate its pupal habitat or oviposition site.
 Remarks. Wirth and Blanton (1969a) discuss C. inyoensis ’ similarity to Culicoides mohave Wirth, which have similar wing and SCo patterns. In the present study, I identified a female C. inyoensis collected by J. N. Belkin from Saratoga Spring, Death Valley, San Bernardino County, California, 30 May 1953, that had been misidentified as C. mohave. It seems likely other specimens identified as C. mohave before C. inyoensis ’ 1969 description are also misidentified.
 The C. inyoensis type series was collected from Resting Springs, Inyo County, California, 29–30 May 1955, along with several C. mohave. Saratoga Spring is only 32 km away from and ~ 465 m lower than Resting Springs; thus, their habitats overlap in the Mojave Desert environment, with C. inyoensis ranging more northern into the Canyonlands of Utah and C. mohave more southern into the Sonoran Desert of Baja California.

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 140, 71-81
description: Using documentary evidence, the article details the history of Queenstock Furnace in Buxted, shown to have been built under the auspices of John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury, probably in 1490, at Iron Plat on the Uckfield Stream, within Morton's lordship of South Malling. It was the site at which William Levett cast guns from 1543 onwards. The technique of casting iron guns vertically in stave-lined pits had been used in the duchy of Jülich in 1539 and 1540, and it is suggested that it was brought to Normandy in 1540 and to the Weald in 1543, as a result of the alliances of both Francis I and Henry VIII with William de La Marck, Duke of Cleves.
Single-point velocity distribution in turbulence

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that the tails of the single-point velocity probability distribution function (PDF) are generally non-Gaussian in developed turbulence. By using instanton formalism for the Navier-Stokes equation, we establish the relation between the PDF tails of the velocity and those of the external forcing. In particular, we show that a Gaussian random force having correlation scale $L$ and correlation time $τ$ produces velocity PDF tails $\ln{\cal P}(v)\propto-v^4$ at $v\gg v_{rms}, L/τ$. For a short-correlated forcing when $τ\ll L/v_{rms}$ there is an intermediate asymptotics $\ln {\cal P}(v)\propto-v^3$ at $L/τ\gg v\gg v_{rms}$.

description: Excavation at Pevensey and Westham CE School, Westham revealed evidence for medieval activity, mainly of 11thâ��13th century date. Two phases of ditch systems were identified, probably related to drainage activity associated with a marshland-edge location. A handful of pits and a possible structure were also recorded, although associated finds were very limited. A small collection of residual Roman pottery was recovered, but no features of this date were identified.

description: Cross-domain Chinese Word Segmentation (CWS) remains a challenge despite recent progress in neural-based CWS. The limited amount of annotated data in the target domain has been the key obstacle to a satisfactory performance. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised word-based approach to improving cross-domain CWS given a baseline segmenter. Particularly, our model only deploys word embeddings trained on raw text in the target domain, discarding complex hand-crafted features and domain-specific dictionaries. Innovative subsampling and negative sampling methods are proposed to derive word embeddings optimized for CWS. We conduct experiments on five datasets in special domains, covering domains in novels, medicine, and patent. Results show that our model can obviously improve cross-domain CWS, especially in the segmentation of domain-specific noun entities. The word F-measure increases by over 3.0% on four datasets, outperforming state-of-the-art semi-supervised and unsupervised cross-domain CWS approaches with a large margin. We make our code and data available on Github.

description: This study examines the microbrewery and craft distillery industries in New York City. Current state legislation passed suggests that this industry is growing, and more needs to be implemented to foster its growth. This study asks whether the microbrewery and craft distillery industry is growing within New York City, and whether there is a cluster forming which may provoke New York City to activate local legislative initiatives. The purpose of this thesis is threefold: first, to examine industry trends in NYC and the metro-area since the reemergence of microbreweries in the 1990s to present day, and the reappearance of craft distilleries in 2004 to present day; second, to analyze the effect of City and State policy on breweries/distilleries in NYC; and to further the academic conversation about economic localism and urban agglomeration economies in terms of production and distribution within the city boundaries. This thesis includes spatial analysis which identifies the significance of spatial patterns, interviews of microbrewery and craft distillery owners, and descriptive economic analysis (percent change). The interviews of the microbrewery and craft distillery owners add a qualitative layer to the data and add to the identification of factors and perceptions of legislative intervention. The economic analysis serves to identify the growth of this industry over time. The study serves as a thorough examination of a growing niche sector and will add to the current academic discourse regarding the formation of industry clusters.

Stress Tensors for Instantaneous Vacua in 1+1 Dimensions

description: The regularized expectation value of the stress-energy tensor for a massless bosonic or fermionic field in 1+1 dimensions is calculated explicitly for the instantaneous vacuum relative to any Cauchy surface (here a spacelike curve) in terms of the length L of the curve (if closed), the local extrinsic curvature K of the curve, its derivative K' with respect to proper distance x along the curve, and the scalar curvature R of the spacetime: T_{00} = - epsilon pi/(6L^2) - K^2/(24 pi), T_{01} = - K'/(12 pi), T_{11} = - epsilon pi/(6L^2) - K^2/(24 pi) + R/(24 pi), in an orthonormal frame with the spatial vector parallel to the curve. Here epsilon = 1 for an untwisted (i.e., periodic in x) one-component massless bosonic field or for a twisted (i.e., antiperiodic in x) two-component massless fermionic field, epsilon = -1/2 for a twisted one-component massless bosonic field, and epsilon = - 2 for an untwisted two-component massless fermionic field. The calculation uses merely the energy-momentum conservation law and the trace anomaly (for which a very simple derivation is also given herein, as well as the expression for the Casimir energy of bosonic and fermionic fields twisted by an arbitrary amount in R^{D-1} x S^1). The two coordinate and conformal invariants of a quantum state that are (nonlocally) determined by the stress-energy tensor are given. Applications to topologically modified deSitter spacetimes, to a flat cylinder, and to Minkowski spacetime are discussed.

description: Culicoides (Drymodesmyia) byersi Atchley
(Fig. 114, 168, 214, 250)
 Culicoides (Drymodesmyia) byersi Atchley, 1967: 983 (key; numerical characters; female; male genitalia; fig. female wing, palpus, spermathecae, male genitalia, parameres; New Mexico). Wirth et al. 1985: 14 (numerical characters; fig. female wing).
 Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Brown; wing pattern moderately faint; r 2 dark; pale spot at end of costa oval and not extending back beneath r 2; distal pale spots present in r 3, m 1, m 2, cua 1 and anal cell; in r 3 and m 1, not close to wing margin; in r 3, elongate and aimed diagonally toward costa, but often faint; mandible with 9–11 minute teeth; pore of sensory pit on palpal segment 3 <0.3 the diameter of segment, widening internally (as in Fig. 249 C. hinmani); pale banding absent subapically from mid femora, basally and subapically from hind femora, subapically from hind tibiae; ventro-posterior membrane of male sternite 9 not spiculate; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite simple, up to 2× longer and only a little more slender than dorsal apodeme; aedeagus simple, nearly V-shaped, median process evenly tapering to broad truncate tip, aedeagal ratio ~0.3; parameres separate, apices simple contorted pointed.
 Distribution. California, Utah (Grand County), Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico. Culicoides byersi is the southwestern treehole-inhabiting counterpart to the morphologically similar and more northern and eastern C. (Drymodesmyia) hinmani, which known ranges overlap in only Utah and Colorado.
 Larval ecology and adult behavior. Culicoides byersi has been reared from a cottonwood treehole in Colorado (Pappas et al. 1991), and the mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood. Furthermore, the combination of its unusually minute teeth and treehole larval habitat with its frequent collection in low-level CO 2 -baited traps (Table 4) suggests a small mammal, ground-dwelling bird, or generalist small-animal feeding preference.

description: Le développement, depuis les années 90 en France, des conseils de quartiers, réunions de concertation ou autres assemblées consultatives, témoigne de la volonté des élus et des acteurs de la ville d’impliquer les citadins dans les projets urbains. Plus récemment, la mise en place des conseils citoyens dans l’ensemble des quartiers prioritaires de la Politique de la ville acte d’une réalité affichée de participation des habitants à l’expertise et à la gestion de leurs espaces de vie. Les exigences du développement durable et de la cohésion sociale renforcent cette tendance politique dans tout le monde occidental. Les expériences de participation sont de plus en plus nombreuses et diversifiées, portées dans des contextes sociaux très variables et soutenues par des élus de gauche comme de droite. Mais malgré ces efforts importants pour engager des collaborations étroites entre habitants et décideurs, un discours récurrent se fait entendre sur les difficultés à définir ou mettre en œuvre une participation citoyenne effective.

description: We present a new technology for the shaping of the electric field in Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) using a carbon-loaded polyimide foil. This technology allows for the minimisation of passive material near the active volume of the TPC and thus is capable to reduce background events originating from radioactive decays or scattering on the material itself. Furthermore, the high and continuous electric resistivity of the foil limits the power dissipation per unit area and minimizes the risks of damages in the case of an electric field breakdown. Replacing the conventional field cage with a resistive plastic film structure called 'shell' decreases the number of components within the TPC and therefore reduces the potential points of failure when operating the detector. A prototype liquid argon (LAr) TPC with such a resistive shell and with a cathode made of the same material was successfully tested for long term operation with electric field values up to about 1.5 kV/cm. The experiment shows that it is feasible to successfully produce and shape the electric field in liquefied noble-gas detectors with this new technology.

description: Since the discovery of $z\sim 6$ quasars two decades ago, studies of their Ly$α$-transparent proximity zones have largely focused on their utility as a probe of cosmic reionization. But even when in a highly ionized intergalactic medium, these zones provide a rich laboratory for determining the timescales that govern quasar activity and the concomitant growth of their supermassive black holes. In this work, we use a suite of 1D radiative transfer simulations of quasar proximity zones to explore their time-dependent behaviour for activity timescales from $\sim10^3$ to $10^8$ years. The sizes of the simulated proximity zones, as quantified by the distance at which the smoothed Ly$α$ transmission drops below 10% (denoted $R_p$), are in excellent agreement with observations, with the exception of a handful of particularly small zones that have been attributed to extremely short $\lesssim 10^4$ year lifetimes. We develop a physically motivated semi-analytic model of proximity zones which captures the bulk of their equilibrium and non-equilibrium behaviour, and use this model to investigate how quasar variability on $\lesssim10^5$ year timescales is imprinted on the distribution of observed proximity zone sizes. We show that large variations in the ionizing luminosity of quasars on timescales of $\lesssim10^4$ years are disfavored based on the good agreement between the observed distribution of $R_p$ and our model prediction based on "lightbulb" (i.e. steady constant emission) light curves.

 Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Dark brown; wing pattern distinct; r 2 dark; distal pale spot in r 3 roundly squarish to slightly bilobed with small anterior cap, oriented perpendicular to M 1; pale spots at ~0.3 on M 1 and ~0.5 on M 2, sometimes the spot at ~0.3 only touching anterior of, not straddling, vein; one distinct pale spot in distal half of anal cell; tips of M 1, M 2, CuA 1 dark; most of CuA 1, all of CuA 2 within dark areas; pore of sensory pit on palpal segment 3 <0.3 the diameter of segment, widening internally (as in Fig. 248 C. sitiens); tibiae without subapical pale band; spermathecae unequal by ~1.2×, ~1.1× longer than wide; ventro-posterior membrane of male sternite 9 spiculate; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite simple; aedeagus V-shaped, papilliform tip <0.1 width of arm spread, aedeagal ratio ~0.4; parameres separate, apices simple pointed bent hooklike.
 Distribution. California, Baja California, Sonora. The single female I collected with UVLT on 4 April 2019 at 34.81440°N 115.61413°W and 1219 m elevation in the Granite Mountains of San Bernardino County, California, may be near the northern limit for this hot-desert species.
 Larval ecology and adult behavior. Culicoides insolatus has been reared from rot holes in Pachycereus schottii (Ryckman 1960). The specimen I collected was from an area where the cacti flora was predominately several Opuntia species, with a few Ferocactus, Echinocereus Engelmann, and Mammillaria Haworth (Cactaceae). However, its adult hosts are unknown, though the mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood.

description: We analytically establish the role of a spectrum of Lyapunov exponents in the evolution of phase-space distributions $ρ(p,q)$. Of particular interest is $λ_2$, an exponent which quantifies the rate at which chaotically evolving distributions acquire structure at increasingly smaller scales and which is generally larger than the maximal Lyapunov exponent $λ$ for trajectories. The approach is trajectory-independent and is therefore applicable to both classical and quantum mechanics. In the latter case we show that the $\hbar\to 0$ limit yields the classical, fully chaotic, result for the quantum cat map.

Subjects: Italian literature
History

Power (Philosophy)

description: This study explores the historical content of Dante’s Inferno by confronting his representations of local power both with those of his contemporaries and of modern historiography. It shows the originality and nuance of Dante’s vision of local power, in particular the concept of tyranny and the rise of signoria in the cities of the north eastern part of Italy and of Romagna. The final chapter attends to Dante’s response to the judicial concept of family co-responsibility. Dante’s representation of local power is examined by focusing on Ezzelino da Romano and Obizzo II d’Este in Inferno 12, Guido da Montefeltro in Inferno 27 and Ugolino della Gherardesca in Inferno 32 and 33.
A process-oriented approach to the biological removal of selenium
Creators: name: Hrycenko, Mike

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As more is learned about selenium toxicity, increasingly stringent discharge levels make selenium another potential concern for mine closures. Biological treatment of selenium has been used successfully and offers the possibility of a low-cost, low-input means of treatment. However, a thorough understanding of the processes involved is crucial to an effective design. There are several biological processes which can remove selenium from a water column, including volatilization, sequestration, and bacterial reduction. Bacterial reduction of selenate and selenite oxyanions appears to be the key process in removing selenium from aquatic systems. Two case studies of biological treatment are presented, with an emphasis on the design approach and how preliminary benchscale tests contributed to an understanding of the processes being designed for. Removal rates of 88% and 96% were obtained in the laboratory tests.

description: We identify a time-dependent class of metrics with potential applications to cosmology, which emerge from negative-tension branes. The cosmology is based on a general class of solutions to Einstein-dilaton-Maxwell theory, presented in {hep-th/0106120}. We argue that solutions with hyperbolic or planar symmetry describe the gravitational interactions of a pair of negative-tension $q$-branes. These spacetimes are static near each brane, but become time-dependent and expanding at late epoch -- in some cases asymptotically approaching flat space. We interpret this expansion as being the spacetime's response to the branes' presence. The time-dependent regions provide explicit examples of cosmological spacetimes with past horizons and no past naked singularities. The past horizons can be interpreted as S-branes. We prove that the singularities in the static regions are repulsive to time-like geodesics, extract a cosmological `bounce' interpretation, compute the explicit charge and tension of the branes, analyse the classical stability of the solution (in particular of the horizons) and study particle production, deriving a general expression for Hawking's temperature as well as the associated entropy.

description: In this thesis, we present a self-contained account of the current development in the local regularity theory of the complex Monge-Ampere equation through the modern fully-nonlinear PDE point of view. We have apply the modern elliptic techniques to establish new local regularity results. These includes: regularity of small perturbed solutions, Holder regularity of the Hessian of the W^{2,p} solutions and a Liouville-type theorem.

description: This manuscript is a draft of work in progress, meant for network distribution only. It will be updated to a formal preprint when the numerical calculations will be accomplished. In this draft we develop a consistent closure procedure for the calculation of the scaling exponents $ζ_n$ of the $n$th order correlation functions in fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence, starting from first principles. The closure procedure is constructed to respect the fundamental rescaling symmetry of the Euler equation. The starting point of the procedure is an infinite hierarchy of coupled equations that are obeyed identically with respect to scaling for any set of scaling exponents $ζ_n$. This hierarchy was discussed in detail in a recent publication [V.S. L'vov and I. Procaccia, Phys. Rev. E, submitted, chao-dyn/9707015]. The scaling exponents in this set of equations cannot be found from power counting. In this draft we discuss in detail low order non-trivial closures of this infinite set of equations, and prove that these closures lead to the determination of the scaling exponents from solvability conditions. The equations under consideration after this closure are nonlinear integro-differential equations, reflecting the nonlinearity of the original Navier-Stokes equations. Nevertheless they have a very special structure such that the determination of the scaling exponents requires a procedure that is very similar to the solution of linear homogeneous equations, in which amplitudes are determined by fitting to the boundary conditions in the space of scales. The re-normalization scale that i necessary for any anomalous scaling appears at this point. The Holder inequalities on the scaling exponents select the renormalizaiton scale as the outer scale of turbulence $L$.

description: We present a logical type of proof of contextuality for a two-qubit state. We formulate a paradox that cannot be verified by a two-qubit system with local measurements while it is possible by using entanglement measurements. With our scheme we achieve $p_{\rm Hardy} \approx 0.167$, which is the highest probability obtained for a system of similar dimension. Our approach uses graph theory and the global exclusivity principle to give an interpretation of logical type of proofs of quantum correlations. We review the Hardy paradox and find connection to the KCBS inequality. We apply the same method to build a paradox based the CHSH inequality.

description: The penetration depth of anisotropic two-band s-wave superconductors have been studied by Ginzburg-Landau approach. The anisotropic spherical Fermi surfaces and order parameters with the spherical ellipse or pancake Fermi shape are used for derive penetration depth equation. The numerical calculation of pancake-pancake and pancake-ellipse Fermi sphere shape are fits well with the experiment data of MgB2 and CaAlSi superconductor, consequently. Our model should be the way to increase understanding in the microscopic mechanism of occurrence of the penetration depth in superconductivity state of these material

Local Regulation of Interchange Turbulence in a Dipole-Confined Plasma Torus using Current-Injection Feedback
Creators: Roberts, Thomas Maximillian
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Plasma (Ionized gases)
Physics

description: Turbulence in plasma confined by a magnetic dipole is dominated by interchange fluctuations with complex dynamics and short spatial coherence. We report the first use of local current-collection feedback to modify, amplify, and suppress these fluctuations. The spatial extent of turbulence regulation is limited to a correlation length near the collector. Changing the gain and phase of collection results in power either extracted from or injected into the turbulence. This mechanism is analogous to the magnetospheric-ionospheric coupling by field-aligned currents. The measured plasma response shows some agreement with calculations of the linear response of global interchange-like MHD and entropy modes to current-collection feedback.
Recent advances in higher order quasi-Monte Carlo methods

description: In this article we review some of recent results on higher order quasi-Monte Carlo (HoQMC) methods. After a seminal work by Dick (2007, 2008) who originally introduced the concept of HoQMC, there have been significant theoretical progresses on HoQMC in terms of discrepancy as well as multivariate numerical integration. Moreover, several successful and promising applications of HoQMC to partial differential equations with random coefficients and Bayesian estimation/inversion problems have been reported recently. In this article we start with standard quasi-Monte Carlo methods based on digital nets and sequences in the sense of Niederreiter, and then move onto their higher order version due to Dick. The Walsh analysis of smooth functions plays a crucial role in developing the theory of HoQMC, and the aim of this article is to provide a unified picture on how the Walsh analysis enables recent developments of HoQMC both for discrepancy and numerical integration.

description: The custom-built Portable Fine Particle Concentrator (PFPC) is evaluated for the measurement of ice nucleating particles (INPs) in the atmosphere. The concentrations of INPs in remote regions of the atmosphere are very low, often close to instrumental detection limits. The PFPC is a dual slit-nozzle virtual impactor where particles are concentrated from an input flow of 250 LPM (litres per minute) into an output flow of 10 LPM. The enrichment factors (EFs) for ambient particles with diameters between 0.4 and 2.5 µm were found to be 21 ± 5 at sea level and 18 ± 2 at a field station 3580 meters above sea level for the PFPC operated in horizontal configuration. Similar enhancement factors (16 ± 5) in the concentrations of INPs measured by the Horizontal Ice Nucleation Chamber at the high-altitude station were observed when the air mass was characterized by high numbers of particles larger than 0.5 µm. When the number size distribution was dominated by particles smaller than 0.5 µm, the INP EF was considerably lower. Corroborating short-term measurements were provided by additional INP-measuring instruments, the Fast Ice Nucleus CHamber and the Frankfurt Ice Deposition Freezing Experiment. Results from two aerosol mass spectrometers also indicate significant particle enhancement using the PFPC. These results indicate that the PFPC can be usefully deployed to improve the detection efficiency of ambient INP measurements. Copyright © 2019 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: In this paper we present a safe and efficient way of dropping for those class of ILU factorizations that their factors are extracted as by-products of AINV process. The drop tolerance parameters of W and Z factors of AINV are selected the same as the drop tolerance parameters of L and U factors respectively. The infinity norms of the columns of W and Z are used to drop entries of L and U. The new dropping technique on L and U is based on monitoring the information of the inverses of L and U. Different dropping strategies for W and Z affect the efficiency of dropping for L and U.

(Fig. 39)
 Culicoides (Selfia) jacksoni Atchley, 1970: 258 (key; female, male, pupa, larva; 30 fig.; New Mexico). Wirth et al. 1985: 32 (numerical characters; fig. female wing). Murphree and Mullen 1991: 364 (key; larva; numerical characters; fig. mandible, epipharynx).
 Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Brown; wing without pattern of pale spots; three unsclerotized or faintly sclerotized long fingerlike spermathecae; male scutellum with six setae; hind tarsomeres with apical spines; posterior margin of male sternite 9 concave or cleft, without caudomedial lobes; gonocoxite slightly tapering, not basally expanded or bent; gonocoxal apodeme with a small posterior mesally directed hooklike process; apex of gonostylus rounded blunt clublike, without tooth; aedeagus Y-shaped, with moderately sclerotized median cross-bar connecting the heavily sclerotized basal arms; parameres fused, longer than wide, with heavily sclerotized abrupt knoblike shoulders at ~0.5, median process 4–5× longer than wide, narrow, parallel-sided fingerlike.
 Distribution. California, Utah (Duchesne, Grand counties), Arizona, New Mexico.
 Larval ecology. Atchley (1970) collected pupae 12 July 1968 from mud margins of small cold (19–21 °C) shallow pools in a freshwater stream with weedy vegetation at 2300 m elevation in a spruce-Douglas fir forest in Duchesne County, Utah. His New Mexico collection of larvae and pupae were from a similar habitat having 17 °C water at 2200 m elevation in a pine-Douglas fir forest. And, Breidenbaugh and Mullens (1999a) collected an adult female above 823 m elevation in Riverside County, California, that laid 85 eggs, which hatched 5 d later at 21–25°C, and which larvae fed on bacterial-feeding Pelodera nematodes in the laboratory.
 Adult behavior. The mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood; and though its hosts are unknown, the SCo presence on only the proximal flagellomeres suggests it is mammalophilic.

Local and Long-range Regulation of Adult Neural Stem Cell Quiescence

description: Quiescent neural stem cells support continuous, lifelong neurogenesis in specific regions of the adult mammalian brain.  The largest adult neurogenic region is the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ), which lines the entire lateral wall of the lateral ventricles.  Quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) enter the cell cycle (activate) and give rise to new neurons during homeostasis and regeneration, suggesting they can potentially be harnessed for regenerating the brain after neurodegenerative disease, stroke, and injury.  Defining the signals that regulate NSC quiescence and activation is essential to unlock their potential for regenerative medicine.  NSCs residing in specific regions of the V-SVZ give rise to distinct subtypes of olfactory bulb interneurons.  It is unknown whether quiescence-regulating signals map onto the regional heterogeneity of NSCs, and might thereby underlie the production of distinct interneuron subtypes.
      A major limitation to our understanding of the regulation of NSC quiescence has been the lack of specific markers to identify qNSCs, and prospectively purify them from their in vivo niche.  Using a novel fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) strategy that allows the purification of qNSCs from the adult mouse V-SVZ niche for the first time, I performed in vitro screens for quiescence-regulating signals.  Unexpectedly, neurotransmitters emerged as the main class of qNSC-activating signals, including dopamine, GABA, serotonin, acetylcholine, and opioids.  Local and long-range neurons that use these neurotransmitters innervate the V-SVZ in unique regional patterns, suggesting these signals map onto the regional heterogeneity of NSCs.  Consistent with this hypothesis, infusions of cholinergic agonist and antagonists into the lateral ventricle resulted in regional changes in NSC proliferation.  Moreover, cholinergic antagonists blocked the activation of qNSCs during regeneration, providing evidence that neurotransmitter signaling activates qNSCs in vivo.  I then showed that hypothalamic Pomc-expressing neurons innervate the anterior-ventral V-SVZ and promote the activation of Nkx2.1+ qNSCs.  Ablation of Pomc+ neurons resulted in decreased proliferation of NSCs in the anterior-ventral, but not anterior-dorsal, V-SVZ.  Moreover, both the activity of Pomc+ neurons, and the proliferation of Nkx2.1+ NSCs in the anterior-ventral V-SVZ decreased in fasted animals, suggesting that hunger and satiety states regulation the generation of a single olfactory bulb interneuron subtype.  Indeed, ablation of Pomc+ neurons resulted in a loss of the subtype of olfactory bulb interneuron that is generated by Nkx2.1+ NSCs.  Together, my findings suggest that both local and long-range neurons regionally innervate the V-SVZ and mediate neural stem cell activation from the quiescent state.
