Phylogenetic relationships of geckos of the genus Nactus and their relatives (Squamata: Gekkonidae)

Year: 2008

description: We employed nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequence data to investigate relationships within the gekkonid genus Nactus and between Nactus and other gekkonid genera. Nuclear (RAG-1, PDC) and mitochondrial (ND2) data provide strong support for conflicting patterns of relationship among bisexual New Guinean species of Nactus and the unisexual oceanic form N. pelagicus. This may be explained by an ancient mitochondrial introgression event between N. sphaerodactylodes and N. vankampeni, a recent selective sweep of mitochondrial DNA throughout N. vankampeni, and gene conflict stemming from the hybrid event that gave rise to N. pelagicus. Strong support from all data partitions is obtained for the sister group relationship of Nactus to a clade consisting of the Australian Heteronotia and the Southeast Asian Dixonius. Putative synapomorphies of the Nactus/Heteronotia/Dixonius clade include the reduction of the second phalanx of digit IV of the manus and the presence of regular rows of keeled (sometimes multicarinate) dorsal tubercles on the dorsum. Nactus and Heteronotia both include parthenogenetic species formed via hybridogenesis. This is rare among geckos, and vertebrates in general, and at some level may also be synapomorphic. Dixonius is not known to have any all-female species, but “D. siamensis” consists of multiple chromosome “races” that mirror morphologically cryptic, but karyotypically distinct, species in the other two genera. The strong support for the Nactus/Heteronotia/Dixonius clade demonstrates that the leaf-toed digital morphology of Dixonius has evolved multiple times within the Gekkonidae and suggests that superficial digital morphology may be misleading with respect to gekkonid suprageneric relationships.

description: We consider the baryogenesis picture in the Zee-Babu model. Our analysis shows that electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in the model is a first-order phase transition at the $100$ GeV scale, its strength ranges from 1 to 4.15 and the masses of charged Higgs boson are smaller than $300$ GeV. The EWPT is strengthened by only the new bosons and this strength is enhanced by arbitrary $ξ$ gauge. However, the $ξ$ gauge does not break the first-order EWPT or, in other words, the $ξ$ gauge is not the cause of the EWPT. This leads to the fact that the calculation of EWPT in Landau gauge is enough; and the latter may provide baryon-number violation (B-violation) necessary for baryogenesis in the relationship with nonequilibrium physics in the early universe.

Preferred temperatures of Tarentola mauritanica in spring
Creators: name: Carretero, Miguel A.
Publisher: name: Acta Herpetologica
Year: 2008

description: Variation of the preferred temperatures (Tp) by the Moorish gecko (Tarentola mauritanica) in spring was analysed in a population from NE Iberia. Ten adult specimens were exposed to a thermal gradient and Tp was measured at seven time intervals between 16 and 24 h. Tp values were low (23.44 ± 0.61 ºC, 20.7-26.9 ºC, mean ± SE, range) but geckoes gradually increased Tps between late afternoon and early evening. Surprisingly, mean, maximum and minimum Tps inversely correlated with the body size (SVL), but the results of the analyses remained after size correction. Compared to a previous study carried out in summer, Tps found here were much lower but diel variation persisted. Such patterns are more similar to other nocturnal or crepuscular geckonids rather than to the well-studied diurnal lacertids living in the same sites. Specifically, Tp seems to be more plastic and the relationships with body size are opposite. Possible adaptive explanations and guidelines for further work are suggested.

Publisher: name: Acta Herpetologica
Year: 2008

description: Biological material is now commonly employed during the characterization of species. Superficial blood vessels are the most appropriate sites in reptiles for blood sampling. In this study we describe a method of blood collection from various species of Indian freshwater turtles for genetic characterization and discuss its advantages over the previously described techniques. The method proved most suitable, easy, and less harmful. The quantity of blood samples obtained is enough for different applications such as karyotyping, cytological examinations of cell types, isozyme analysis from RBCs and plasma, DNA isolation for PCR-RAPD and mitochondrial gene specific amplification. We conclude that the femoral vein is probably the most suitable site for blood collection from Indian freshwater turtles for various experimental procedure and methodologies related to genetic characterization.

description: The problem of convergence of moments of a sequence of random variables to the moments of its asymptotic distribution is important in many applications. These include the determination of the optimal training sample size in the cross validation estimation of the generalization error of computer algorithms, and in the construction of graphical methods for studying dependence patterns between two biomarkers. In this paper we prove the uniform integrability of the ordinary least squares estimators of a linear regression model, under suitable assumptions on the design matrix and the moments of the errors. Further, we prove the convergence of the moments of the estimators to the corresponding moments of their asymptotic distribution, and study the rate of the moment convergence. The canonical central limit theorem corresponds to the simplest linear regression model. We investigate the rate of the moment convergence in canonical central limit theorem proving a sharp improvement of von Bahr's (1965) theorem.

description: According to a hypothesis of the evolution of viviparity the lacertid lizard Zootoca vivipara, rare relict oviparous populations of the species might occur in southern-eastern part of its distribution area. Such a hypothesis has been verified by comparing the karyotype, chromosome structure, and reproductive modality of three populations of south-eastern part of Russia, including Altai and neighbouring regions, where small territories remained isolated during the Pleistocene cooling and where Pleistocenic fossils of Z. vivipara have been found. The chromosomal study was carried out by conventional staining method and banding methods, namely C-banding and sequential staining of C-banding+ fluorochromes, CMA3 and DAPI. All studied females displayed viviparous reproductive modality and showed a karyotype of 2N = 35 acrocentric chromosomes, with a Z1Z2W sex chromosome system. Chromosome W was subtelocentric. No inter-population variability on karyotype and heterochromatin distribution and composition was observed. From the obtained data the three studied south-eastern Russian viviparous populations belong to the Russian viviparous form of Z. v. vivipara.

Publisher: name: Acta Herpetologica

description: Despite the vicinity of a major road, the rainforests of the South Nguru Mountains in eastern Tanzania were virtually unexplored until 2004, particularly from a herpetological point of view. Several surveys were conducted between 2004 and 2006 with the aim of providing a comprehensive list of the amphibian and reptile species of this overlooked hotspot of biological diversity. The surveys resulted in this assessment of the herpetofaunal diversity, with 92 species recorded, of which 15 represent new records for this area, and the discovery of 16 species new to science, all of which are likely to be strictly endemic to the Nguru Mountains. Pressure on the forests, particularly the lowland forests, remains high. A conservation planning process is now underway that is attempting to address the loss of these critically important forests. These results, documenting the high species richness and the outstanding number of putative endemics of the forests, strongly highlight the biological importance of the South Nguru Mountains and place them among the most important sites for the conservation of herpetofauna in Africa.

title: On compactness properties of subgroups
Creators: name: Arora, Shivam
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: The class of locally compact groups has been widely studied in group theory, representation theory, and harmonic analysis. There is a current program of extending geometric techniques used in the study of discrete groups to this larger class [Wil94, KM08,CCMT15,CdlH16]. This thesis is part of that program. We use geometric methods to study the compactness properties of subgroups in the class of topological groups containing a compact open subgroup. This class includes discrete groups, profinite groups, and totally disconnected locally compact groups as subclasses. In the first project, we study discrete hyperbolic groups. Finitely presented subgroups of hyperbolic groups are not necessarily hyperbolic; the first examples of this phenomenon were constructed by Brady [Bra99]. In contrast, for hyperbolic groups of integral cohomological dimension at most two, finitely presented subgroups are hyperbolic; this is a result of Gersten [Ger96b]. We extend this result to hyperbolic groups with rational cohomological dimension bounded by two. This applies to examples of groups constructed by Bestvina and Mess, fully describing the nature of their finitely presented subgroups, which was previously unknown. In the second project, we extend Gersten’s result for totally disconnected locally compact (TDLC) groups. In particular, we prove that closed compactly presented subgroups of hyperbolic TDLC groups of discrete rational cohomological dimension bounded by two are hyperbolic. We also characterize hyperbolic TDLC groups in terms of isoperimetric inequalities and study small cancellation quotients of amalgamated free products of profinite groups over open subgroups. In the last project, we study coherence of topological groups. A group is coherent if every compactly generated subgroup is compactly presented. We prove that amalgamated free products of coherent groups over compact open subgroups are coherent. We also show that certain small cancellation quotients of these groups are also coherent, generalizing a result of McCammond and Wise [MW05]. In order to prove the main results, we study relative hyperbolicity for topological groups containing compact open subgroups with respect to finite collection of open subgroups, and extend some results of Osin [Osi06].
Tele-audiology: Implications and Practioners' Perceptions

description: Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review is to examine audiologists’ perceptions of tele-audiology and how tele-audiology is being implemented. Background: Telemedicine, and specifically tele-audiology, is a potential option to provide families and patients with hearing loss access to diagnostic and treatment services when there are access barriers. Tele-audiology originated from previous telemedicine programs dating back to the early 1960s and the utilization currently allows for hearing care practice to provide virtual care. It is important to consider how practitioners view this option for providing care and also to investigate how it is being implemented to determine which aspect of audiology telemedicine is best suited for. Methods/Proposed Methods: Article searches were performed in PubMed and CINAHL databases. Search criteria included articles published from June 2009 until January 2017 and any format other than case study designs. Reliability calculations were performed during the title/abstract review and the full text review. We ultimately decided to exclude any article not discussing tele-audiology practice in the United States during the full-text review. 16 articles were included for quality appraisal. Results/Anticipated Results: Tele-audiology is being implemented for various age populations and various diagnostic and intervention needs. The results suggest that most audiologists are comfortable with the technology needed to implement tele-audiology but not as many are in fact utilizing it in their practice. Discussion: Since tele-audiology practice is a relatively new service option, there needs to be more research performed in the United States about how many audiologists are utilizing it and to what extent. For those programs with established tele-audiology service options, the outlook is generally positive and these sites are using it for both diagnostic and intervention services. For those sites that have not yet started to implement tele-audiology, this may be useful for those patients where access to in-person care is not convenient. There was no financial or intellectual conflict of interest on behalf of any of the authors.
The Radio Feature form and Documentary Poetry: Does poetry offer a documentary framework for thinking about the playful treatment of source material in contemporary non-fiction radio/podcast works?
Creators: name: Minshall, Jessica
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Radio feature conventions that allow for the playful treatment of source material have received little scholarly attention despite being utilised in contemporary audio works. There are artistic and journalistic tensions inherent in a form that allows scenes to be constructed, and where the changes and edits are not always audible. In documentary poetry there is similar creative use of source material, and this is only made visible on the page by choice. Yet there is documentary intent related to the very documents being turned into poetry. This research project asks: How do poets, scholars and critics think about this same issue in documentary poetry? How is this form understood as documentary? It explores the wealth of critical and scholarly discourse afforded to the literary genre, focusing on the definitional debates and the discussion of non-fiction representation in creative works. It finds a useful framework in an expanded theory of documentary that draws on the double definition of the word: the act of documenting; and the use of documents. Thinking about the documentary/ political intent of a work, considerations for documentary authenticity, and the managing of audience expectations for the playful treatment of source material, guides the analysis of three radio feature/ crafted audio texts.
Disappearance of eggs during gestation in a viviparous snake (Vipera aspis) detected using non-invasive techniques

description: The number of eggs released at ovulation may be greater than the number of offspring born, if some of these ovulated eggs and/or embryos disappear during gestation. Although this process can potentially exert significant effects on reproductive output, logistical problems have discouraged studies on the disappearance of eggs and embryos in most kinds of vertebrates. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging and ultrasound Doppler-imaging have not been applied previously to such questions. Using these techniques, we monitored changes in the female’s oviduct through gestation in a viviparous snake. We documented a case of disappearance of two ovulated eggs (from a litter of four) in the aspic viper, Vipera aspis. The female ovulated four normal-sized eggs, two of which contained living embryos when examined by NMR and ultrasound Doppler-imaging early in gestation. Subsequent NMR imaging midway through gestation showed the same situation, but a third imaging session immediately prior to parturition revealed that the oviducts contained only the two live embryos. The two nonviable eggs had disappeared. The female gave birth to the two live offspring, with no evidence of any additional material. These data thus offer the strongest evidence so far available for egg disappearance (resorption?) during gestation in reptiles. More generally, NMR imaging offers a valuable tool for investigating processes inside the body cavity, where direct observation is otherwise difficult or impossible. The technique does not require sacrifice of the animals, and hence allows dynamic investigations over time.

description: We introduce a category of possibly irregular holonomic D-modules which can be endowed in a canonical way with an irregular Hodge filtration. Mixed Hodge modules with their Hodge filtration naturally belong to this category, as well as their twist by $\expφ$ for any meromorphic function $φ$. This category is stable by various standard functors, which produce many more filtered objects. The irregular Hodge filtration satisfies the $E_1$-degeneration property by a projective morphism. This generalizes some results proved by Esnault-Sabbah-Yu arxiv:1302.4537 and Sabbah-Yu arxiv:1406.1339. We also show that those rigid irreducible holonomic D-modules on the complex projective line whose local formal monodromies have eigenvalues of absolute value one, are equipped with such an irregular Hodge filtration in a canonical way, up to a shift of the filtration. In a chapter written jointly with Jeng-Daw~Yu, we make explicit the case of irregular mixed Hodge structures, for which we prove in particular a Thom-Sebastiani formula.

description: Type I serous glands in the skin of the Eastern yellow-bellied toad Bombina orientalis released their product massively after 10-3 M nor-adrenalin (NA) stimulation, mimicking orthosympathetic control on poison emission in chemical skin defence. Features of cutaneous glands involved in this bulk discharge were observed under light and electron microscopes. Furthermore, restoration of depleted glands was followed after 1, 2 and 3 weeks, and compared with serous biosynthesis during larval gland development. Bulk discharge was caused by contraction of myoepithelial cells (mecs) encircling the secretory units. Mec compression dramatically affected the secretory unit, but parts of this syncytial cytoplasm were saved from degeneration and cooperated in gland renewal with stem cells from the gland neck. These adenoblasts underwent proliferation and secretory cytodifferentiation, until merging with the syncytium. Cytoplasm that had resumed secretory activity showed the features typical of larval gland development: the endoplasmic reticulum (rer) cisterns were aligned in close parallel arrangement and Golgi stacks released minute type I granules. Secretory rehabilitation led to increasing amounts of granule content. In the meantime, rough cisterns decreased in number and assumed the less ordered pattern described in control specimens. Data collected in the present study revealed that chemical skin defence in anurans is a multi-factorial mechanism involving specific activities: mechanical from mecs, biosynthetic from secretory syncytium and proliferative from intercalated stem cells.

Year: 2009

description: Genetic diversity among four geographically isolated populations of an Indian freshwater turtle, Lissemys punctata, was studied using seven metabolically important isozyme/allozymes as genetic markers. A total of twenty-three alleles at fourteen protein-coding loci were identified, six of these loci were monomorphic and the remaining eight were polymorphic. The result suggests that the geographic populations of L. punctata sampled can be characterized by a total genetic diversity of 0.180 (mean HT) with an average of 1.64 alleles per locus. The average proportion of polymorphic loci per population was estimated to be 1.75. The UPGMA tree of genetic relationship indicated significant differentiation among populations. The results also showed that the geographical and genetic distances are not correlated in these populations of L. punctata.

description: Intense and energetic electron currents can be generated by ultra-intense lasers interacting with solid density targets. Especially for ultra-short laser pulses their temporal evolution needs to be taken into account for many non-linear processes as instantaneous currents may differ significantly from the average. Hence, a dynamic model including the temporal variation of the electron currents which goes beyond a simple bunching with twice the laser frequency but otherwise constant current is needed. Here we present a new time-dependent model to describe the laser generated currents and obtain simple expressions for the temporal evolution and resulting corrections of averages.

description: Equine Assisted Activities and Therapy (EAA/T) is a non-invasive treatment modality recommended by the medical and educational community for a subset of challenged children and adults. As its popularity increases, so too are the concerns among stakeholders and the medical and educational professions about its legitimacy as a treatment modality. The main concern being that EAA/T practitioners have not acquired the professional skills required and that the EAA/T treatment programmes are not evidence-based. The central question of this research focused on identifying Equine Assisted Activities and or Therapy (EAA/T) and creating an optimal learning curricula and more practical experience for future practitioners. In order to explore these issues an extensive multi-method research study was conducted to identify gaps in EAA/T curricula, which included a review of empirical data and different curriculum models. The Delphi Method (DM), a robust, qualitative, naturalistic, systematic and interactive research method was used to support the research. Part of the DM required an analysis of data, adaptation of issues and amendments to questions culminating in a collective consensus among EAA/T experts. The key research findings suggested that current training programmes use curricula with significant gaps resulting in poor professional knowledge formation, a lack of experiential learning, insufficient knowledge of equestrianism and an inability to use pedagogic paradigms. Other findings showed that curricula being used were not being built as an application of sound theoretical principles but rather, transmitted in a manner that does not motivate active and meaningful learning or promote the best practical experience. As a consequence, national organisations and academies dedicated to EAA/T training sidestep high standards and core values for the sake of membership and financial gain. This rigorous research study has highlighted gaps in current training practices and has made it possible to make recommendations for a future curriculum. Recommendations that suggest the future curriculum is built on sound theoretical principles developing foundation knowledge to operate EAA/T in all fields of practice. This could set new quality and performance benchmarks and provides EAA/T practitioners with adequate tools to connect best practices to people with real-life challenges.

Quasilocal first law of black hole dynamics from local Lorentz transformations

description: Quasilocal formulations of black hole are of immense importance since they reveal the essential and minimal assumptions required for a consistent description of black hole horizon, without relying on the asymptotic boundary conditions on fields. Using the quasilocal formulation of Isolated Horizons, we construct the Hamiltonian charges corresponding to local Lorentz transformations on a spacetime admitting isolated horizon as an internal boundary. From this construction, it arises quite generally that the \emph{area} of the horizon of an isolated black hole is the Hamiltonian charge for local Lorentz boost on the horizon. Using this argument further, it is shown that, observers at a fixed proper distance $l_{0}$, very close to the horizon, may define a notion of horizon energy given by $E=A/8πG l_{0}$, the surface gravity is given by $κ=1/l_{0}$, and consequently, the first law can be written in the quasilocal setting as $δE=(κ/8πG)δA$..

description: Bei der Planung von Fabriken bestimmt die geeignete Auswahl der Fabrikelemente, wie gut eine Fabrik ihren geplanten Zweck erfüllt. Die Herausforderung bei den Auswahlentscheidungen besteht darin, die bestmögliche Auswahl in Bezug auf ein geplantes Ziel zu treffen, während gleichzeitig bestimmte Restriktionen, wie z. B. bei Budget oder Flächen, eingehalten werden müssen. In der Regel werden die Entscheidungen zur Auswahl von Fabrikelementen für jeden Fabrikbereich separat getroffen. Dabei wird entweder intuitiv oder auf der Basis von Heuristiken vorgegangen. In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie die Auswahl auf Basis eines ganzheitlichen Optimierungsansatzes erfolgen kann, durch das eine nutzenoptimale Fabrikkonfiguration unter Betrachtung vorab definierter Budgets ermöglicht wird. Darüber hinaus werden ein einfaches, vierstufiges Vorgehen sowie ein softwarebasiertes Konfigurationssystem vorgestellt. Das Optimierungsmodell wurde genutzt, um die Forschungs- und Lernfabrik FlowFactory des Forschungsinstituts PTW zu konfigurieren.

description: A new endemic gecko of the genus Hemidactylus is described from Socotra Island (Yemen). It is a rupicolous species characterized by: medium-large size (SVL up to 60 mm), back with large trihedral, raised, strongly keeled tubercles intermixed with small granular scales, males with 6-10 preanal pores arranged in two short rows separated by 2-3 scales. In East Africa, Arabia, the Middle East and India the only other tuberculated Hemidactylus with preanal pores arranged on two separate rows is the Somali H. granchii Lanza, 1978, which differs for the comparatively deeper and shorter head, the nostril separated from the first upper labial, less preanal pores, less upper and lower labials, more tubercles at midbody and more lamellae under the inner toe.

description: By the end of the nineteenth century, a wide range of institutional provision was well-established in Scotland as it was across much of Europe and beyond. While adults were often the initial focus of such provision, specialist institutions for children were also established. However, for disabled children, their introduction might be regarded as haphazard.
