 Lasaea hawaiensis Dall et al., 1938 — Kay, 1979: p. 547, figs. 178 A & 179 A; Rehder, 1980: p. 111, pl. 14, figs. 7–9; Tröndlé & Boutet, 2009: p. 8; Severns, 2011: p. 470, pl. 215, fig. 5, non fig 4.
 Material examined. Over one hundred live taken specimens and single valves from EI and SyG (BK), plus specimens from the Hawaiian Islands (MHU) and Pitcairn Island (BK).
 Diagnosis. Shell large for the genus (up to 6 mm in length), suborbicular to broadly ovate, inflated, and not fragile. Umbones elevated. Exterior surface of commarginal growth lines and dense punctate microsculpture. Pallial line continuous; margins smooth. Hinge stout, consisting of broad lateral teeth. Color variable only in intensity, translucent white and tinged with reddish purple which is darker toward the umbones, and the posterior and anterior ends. Hinge and dorsal margin are usually stained as well.
 Remarks. This species is similar in shape and color to the moderately smaller L. hinemoa Finlay, 1928, from New Zealand and the much smaller European type species L. rubra (Montagu, 1803). The genus Lasaea has been a subject of great interest for the last twenty-five years. This near-cosmopolitan genus has the ability to brood their young either to a planktotrophic veliger or a crawl-away juvenile stage of development (Ó Foighil, 1989: 349). Furthermore, it challenges our preconception regarding planktotrophic species distribution. Several genetic studies on this genus indicate that Lasaea species with crawl-away juvenile stages actually have a greater geographic range than those with planktotrophic larvae. This is especially true among oceanic island groups. However, over time these non-planktotrophic genetic clones tend to become morphologically distinct (Ó Foighil 1986 & 1989; Taylor & Ó Foighil 2000; Ó Foighil et al. 2001).
 Habitat. Commonly found at many locations around EI and SyG, in sand and rubble, from 5–80 m, living to around 20 m.
 Distribution. Lasaea hawaiensis was originally described from the Hawaiian Islands, but is also known from the Marquesas Islands, Gambier Islands, Austral Islands, Pitcairn Islands, as well as Easter and Salas y Gómez Islands— E5.

description: Since the mid-1970s, obesity has rapidly increased among people in the U.S. Secondary eating is one factor blamed for obesity. Secondary eating is defined as eating while doing something else such as reading or watching TV. We hypothesize that lifestyle is an important moderator of the effect of secondary eating on obesity. Using data from the 2006-8 American Time Use Survey (ATUS), the results indicate that a sedentary lifestyle increases the odds of mindless secondary eating, leading to overeating and obesity.

description: Manganese oxides are ubiquitous in soil, sediment and aquatic environment. Over the years, manganese oxides and their composites have proved to be effective as adsorbents for the removal of metal ions and contaminants from water/wastewater. Because of their unique chemical and physical properties, they have attracted widespread attention as excellent adsorbents. This review reports on recent research on the synthesis, characterization, and application of manganese oxides and their composites for wastewater treatment. The adsorption characteristics, including experimental conditions and mechanisms involved in the pollutant removal processes, are discussed. The review provides an overview of the research related to manganese oxides and their application, including future areas of research and limitations in the current body of research.

description: We calculate the time evolution of fluctuations for rare particles such as e.g. kaons in 1 AGeV or charmonium in 200 AGeV heavy ion collisions. We find that these fluctuations are a very sensitive probe of the degree of chemical equilibration reached in these collisions. Furthermore, measuring the second factorial moment the size of the initial population can be determined.

COMMENT
Meylan (1936) proposed the name Tortula muralis subsp. mairei Meyl. but was interpreted as species level as Tortula mairei Meyl. nom. illeg. later homonym by Jelenc (1955a), who replaced it by Tortula wilczekii Meyl. However, the identity of the taxon has not been revised because the type has not been traced (Ros et al. 2013).

description: Nanosized aluminium oxides (NAOs) are an important class of minerals widely found in soil, sediment, aquifer, and aquatic environments. Over the decades, these minerals have been explored as sorbents for the removal of wastewater contaminated with metal ions, anions, organic dyes, humic substances, phenolic compounds, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals from contaminated wastewater. This review summarizes the reported research of NAOs as sorbents and provides details on their sorption capacities including maximum removal capacity under various experimental conditions. Information on the composition, synthesis, characterization and experimental parameters together with sorption mechanisms is provided. A compilation of such information is not currently available and so this review should enable workers in the area to make more informed choices on suitable sorbents for large-scale environmental samples and be able to develop more efficient processes for environmental pollutant clean-up

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία διερευνάται εάν ο λιγνίτης μπορεί να θεωρηθεί πηγή
μετάλλων υψηλής τεχνολογίας. Συγκεκριμένα εξετάζεται η περίπτωση του Li και του La.Για το σκοπό αυτό μελετήθηκαν πέντε δείγματα λιγνίτη από διαφορετικές περιοχές στην Ελλάδα και τρία δείγματα ιπτάμενης τέφρας και πραγματοποιήθηκαν:
 Χαρακτηρισμός των δειγμάτων με περιθλασιμετρία ακτίνων Χ (XRD) και
φασματομετρία ακτίνων Χ φθορισμού (XRF). Προσδιορισμός της
περιεκτικότητάς τους σε Li και La με φασματομετρία ατομικής εκπομπής
(AES) και φασματομετρία ατομικής εκπομπής με επαγωγικά συζευγμένο
πλάσμα (ΙCP-AES).
 Εκλεκτικές εκχυλίσεις στα αρχικά δείγματα και μελέτη της τέφρας χαμηλής
θερμοκρασίας (350οC) με XRD και, σε επιλεγμένα δείγματα, με θερμική
ανάλυση (TG/DTA).
 Δοκιμές ανάκτησης του Li με εκχύλιση με οξέα, σε επιλεγμένα δείγματα, και
μελέτη της επίδρασης στη διαδικασία, του χρόνου, της θερμοκρασίας, του
λόγου στερεού προς υγρό και της συγκέντρωσης του εκχυλιστικού μέσου.
Από τα αποτελέσματα προέκυψε ότι τα δείγματα που εξετάστηκαν περιέχουν
σημαντικές ποσότητες Li που φθάνουν τα 350 mg/Kg ενώ μόνο δείγματα από τον Αγ. Δημήτριο εμφανίζουν περιεκτικότητες La πάνω από το όριο ανίχνευσης της μεθόδου προσδιορισμού που εφαρμόστηκε (10mg/Kg). Διαπιστώθηκε ότι το λίθιο δεν έχει συγγένεια με το οργανικό υλικό ενώ συνδέεται με αργιλοπυριτικές φάσεις και συγκεκριμένα με μαρμαρυγίες (λεπιδόλιθος, μοσχοβίτης) και πυρόξενους (σπονδούμενο, διοψίδιος). Παρατηρήθηκε τέλος ότι σε όλα τα δείγματα μικρό ποσοστό (5%) συνδεεται με το άμορφο περιεχόμενο ενώ σε ένα δείγμα το ποσοστό αυτό έφτανε το 20%. Με τις δοκιμές ανάκτησης που πραγματοποιήθηκαν ανακτήθηκε μέχρι και το 95% του περιεχόμενου Li.

description: This research explores how the achievement motivation pathway in the cortex influences hypothalamic activity, which could influence appetite control and obesity avoidance. The objective was to examine the sympathetic/parasympathetic feedback loop, and the influence of various biofeedback relaxation techniques on lowering heart rate (HR) and electrodermal activity (EDA). The methodology used was a standard biofeedback mechanism with visual representation of the measured physiological parameters. The feedforward part of the said feedback loop is controlled by hypothalamus while the feedback part is evaluated by the cortex. The participants were young adults and the sample size was ten. The results revealed that three (posture relaxation, breathing in and out very slowly, and closing the eyes) of five techniques used contributed more in controlling physiological parameters than the other two. The results imply that the energy balance feedback loop, which is also controlled by the hypothalamus, can be used to influence obesity avoidance.

 Material examined. Several single valves (up to 47 mm in length) (BK), including valves collected by the 1957/58 Downwind Expedition (SIO Benthic Collection, M1452), plus specimens from the Marquesas Islands (MHU).
 Diagnosis. Shell medium to large, occasionally subcircular but usually oblong. The LV is the lower attached valve. Specimens are usually dextral with the umbo pointing anteriorward, but occasionally sinistral with the umbo pointing posteriorward. Exterior surface of commarginal lamellose, and typically covered by incrustations. Typical dorsal ridge. Hinge strongly curved with broad folds and deep teeth. Color extremely variable from yellowish brown to greyish purple. In fresh specimens with the typical vertical or radial dark brown to orange marks below the dorsal ridge, continuing on the lower valve. Margins smooth.
 Remarks. Some of the worn Chama material identified by Luke (1995) from the SIO Benthic Collection, M1452 (Figs. 34 C–F) approaches the shape and ridge, but a firm identification is obviously impossible.
 Chama croceata is often erroneously referred to as the preoccupied C. imbricata Broderip, 1835, or its nom. nov. C. plinthota Cox, 1927, as well as C. ratoi Boshoff, 1965, described from Mozambique, and C. savignyi Jousseaume in Lamy, 1921, described from the Red Sea. However, all have proved to be consistent with the type material of C. croceata. Huber (2010: 676) clarified C. croceata type locality as the Red Sea.
 The 47.3 mm specimen represents the largest bivalve ever found on Easter Island. Elsewhere, C. croceata grows to 100 mm.
 Habitat. Occasionally found at several locations around EI, in sand and rubble, from 30–80 m.
 Distribution. Chama croceata is known from the Red Sea to the Kermadec Islands, including the Marquesas Islands, Australia, and Norfolk Island, but is not known from the Hawaiian Islands. Easter Island is now considered a range extension— E5.

description: This is the first paper in a series of three where we present the first comprehensive inventory of solid state emission bands observed in a sample of 17 oxygen-rich circumstellar dust shells surrounding evolved stars. The data were taken with the Short and Long Wavelength Spectrographs on board of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) and cover the 2.4 to 195 micron wavelength range. The spectra show the presence of broad 10 and 18 micron bands that can be attributed to amorphous silicates. In addition, at least 49 narrow bands are found whose position and width indicate they can be attributed to crystalline silicates. Almost all of these bands were not known before ISO. We have measured the peak positions, widths and strengths of the individual, continuum subtracted bands. Based on these measurements, we were able to order the spectra in sequence of decreasing crystalline silicate band strength. We found that the strength of the emission bands correlates with the geometry of the circumstellar shell, as derived from direct imaging or inferred from the shape of the spectral energy distribution. This naturally divides the sample into objects that show a disk-like geometry (strong crystalline silicate bands), and objects whose dust shell is characteristic of an outflow (weak crystalline silicate bands). All stars with the 33.6 micron forsterite band stronger than 20 percent over continuum are disk sources. We define spectral regions (called complexes) where a concentration of emission bands is evident, at 10, 18, 23, 28, 33, 40 and 60 micron. We derive average shapes for these complexes and compare these to the individual band shapes of the programme stars.

description: Droplet motion on surfaces influences phenomena as diverse as microfluidic liquid handling, printing technology and micro-organism migration. Typically, droplet motion is achieved by inducing energy gradients on a substrate or flow on the droplet's free surface. Current configurations for droplet manipulation have, however, limited applicability as they rely on carefully tailored wettability gradients and/or bespoke substrates. Here we demonstrate the contactless long-range manipulation of binary droplets on pristine substrates due to the sensing of localized water vapor sources. We show with analytical considerations that the dissipative nature of the driving forces at play, induced by tiny asymmetries in surface tension gradients, is essential to capture the droplet's manipulation mechanism. We then demonstrate its versatility by printing, aligning and reacting materials controllably in space and time.

 Material examined. Several hundred articulated specimens and single valves from EI and SyG (BK), plus specimens from the Hawaiian Islands (MHU), Marquesas Islands (MHU), Australia (MHU) and Pitcairn Island (BK).
 Diagnosis. Shell small (up to 20 mm in length) broadly ovate to suborbicular shape, equivalve, inequilateral, not fragile. Umbones somewhat elevated; lunule moderately impressed and elongate. Exterior surface of rounded radiating ribs crossed by commarginal ridges forming low elongate nodules on the ribs. Interior muscle scars unequal, with pallial sinus running nearly continuous; margin crenulate. Hinge with two cardinals, which are bifid in the right posterior and left anterior, and opposing laterals in each valve. Color creamy white to pale yellow.
 Remarks. The EI specimens conform well to the Hawaiian material. Dall et al. (1938) corrected the erroneous original type locality for C. bella from San Diego to the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian species was accepted by J. Taylor, (pers. comm., 2010) to represent bella. The Japanese Ctena delicatula (Pilsbry, 1904), is a similar, but a morphologically distinct species and most noticeable in adult valves by having finer radial ribs and fewer commarginal ridges.
 Habitat. Commonly found at many locations around EI and SyG, in sand and rubble, from 10–50 m.
 Distribution. Ctena bella is widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific, ranging from the Hawaiian Islands to the Kermadec Islands to include the Society Islands, Marquesas Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago, Gambier Islands, Austral Islands, eastern Australia, Norfolk Island, and Pitcairn Islands, as well as Easter and Salas y Gómez Islands— E5.

description: This project was designed to evaluate the effect of ruminant grazing practices at Hickory Hill Farm on the surrounding environment by measuring soil nutrients and runoff chemistry. Three pastures on the farm (Goat, Cattle and Control) were selected for soil sampling and nutrient analyses were recorded. Physical water quality parameters were conducted on the runoff collected from the farm after Hurricane Sandy. The sites with animal activity had higher levels of sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, Mehlich 3 phosphorus and conductivity when compared to control site. However, the control site had slightly higher pH and chloride levels. Nitrogen and phosphorous levels were very low at the control site when compared with the cattle and goat sites. Overall, soil quality was not found to be severely degraded from ruminant grazing activities. It will be vital to continue monitoring the farm to ensure its management practices are allowing optimal farm profitability and environmental health.

description: The objective of this research was to estimate the prevalence of food insecurity and determine if food insecurity is associated with psychological well-being among women living with HIV/AIDS. Survey data were collected from 268 women living with HIV/AIDS attending two clinics that provide medical and social support services to HIV-positive patients who live in 23 counties in Southeast Alabama. The results indicated that, using USDA food security scale, 54% of the women were food insecure. Multiple regression analysis results indicated that income, depressive symptoms, race, and participation in SNAP were significant predictors of food insecurity; employment and education were not statistically significant predictors. The overall model was significant at the 5% level reflecting the validity of the model. Based on these results, programs that address food insecurity should be a critical component of HIV/AIDS treatment in the Alabama Black Belt.

description: With the constraints in federal budgeting requiring the shrinkage of federal programs, programs outlined in the 2014 Farm Bill are significantly impacted, showing a thirteen year trend toward funding reduction. This paper examines historical Farm Bill programs, including crop subsidies and the nutritional assistance programs and how these programs historically addressed food insecurity versus how they are impacted by today’s budgetary constraints. The paper also examines new models for addressing food insecurity and how communities are pulling together resources to address food insecurity. In discussing the new models, the paper focuses on policy trends and funding structures; for example community food co-ops and their impact on farmers, rural and urban communities that are facing food insecurity. Ultimately, the paper aims to give the agriculture and law sectors tools to lessen the impact of Farm Bill changes and funding reductions in local communities.

description: In the present paper, we consider a $\left(1 + 1\right)$-dimensional gauge model consisting of two complex scalar fields interacting with each other through an Abelian gauge field. When the model's gauge coupling constants are set equal to zero, the model possesses non-gauged Q-ball and kink solutions that do not interact with each other. It is shown that at nonzero gauge coupling constants, the model possesses the soliton solution describing the system consisting of interacting Q-ball and kink components. The kink and Q-ball components of the kink-Q-ball system have opposite electric charges, so the total electric charge of the kink-Q-ball system vanishes. Properties of the kink-Q-ball system are researched analytically and numerically. In particular, it was found that the kink-Q-ball system possesses a nonzero electric field and is unstable with respect to small perturbations of fields.

description: The Casimir force between uncharged metallic surfaces originates from quantum mechanical zero point fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. We demonstrate that this quantum electrodynamical effect has a profound influence on the oscillatory behavior of microstructures when surfaces are in close proximity (<= 100 nm). Frequency shifts, hysteretic behavior and bistability caused by the Casimir force are observed in the frequency response of a periodically driven micromachined torsional oscillator.

description: Recent legislation by the U.S. Congress authorized a federal regional commission for the Black Belt South. Three southern social scientists first proposed the commission at Tuskegee University’s Professional Agricultural Workers Conference in 1990. Following congressional seminars on the Black Belt by Ronald Wimberley and Libby Morris, the first legislation for the commission was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994. After a succession of 12 U.S. House and Senate Bills, Congress finally authorized “the Southeast Crescent Regional Commission” in 2008 with support by various, and sometimes competing, groups. This paper traces and updates the chronology of sociological research, university initiatives, grassroots support, and policy efforts involved in establishing the Commission. Suggestions are offered for improving the Commission and the types of programs the Commission may use to improve the historic and contemporary poor quality of life in the Southern Black Belt.

description: Using a relativistic transport model for heavy ion collisions at energies that are below the threshold for kaon and antikaon production in nucleon-nucleon collisions, we study how their abundances approach the canonical equilibrium during the collisions. We find that kaons are far from chemical equilibrium at the initial and high density stage, and they approach equilibrium only during the expansion stage of the collisions when their production rate is small and becomes comparable to their annihilation rate. In contrast, antikaons approach chemical equilibrium much earlier but eventually fall out of equilibrium again as a result of their large annihilation cross sections in nuclear matter.

description: In principle, any cooperative behaviour can be evolutionarily stable as long as it is incentivized by a reward from the beneficiary, a mechanism that has been called reciprocal cooperation. However, what makes this mechanism so powerful also has an evolutionary downside. Reciprocal cooperation faces a chicken-and-egg problem of the same kind as communication: it requires two functions to evolve at the same time—cooperation and response to cooperation. As a result, it can only emerge if one side first evolves for another reason, and is then recycled into a reciprocal function. Developing an evolutionary model in which we make use of machine learning techniques, we show that this occurs if the fact to cooperate and reward others’ cooperation become general abilities that extend beyond the set of contexts for which they have initially been selected. Drawing on an evolutionary analogy with the concept of generalization, we identify the conditions necessary for this to happen. This allows us to understand the peculiar distribution of reciprocal cooperation in the wild, virtually absent in most species—or limited to situations where individuals have partially overlapping interests, but pervasive in the human species.

description: This case describes a current growth opportunity for Mi Pueblo Food Center, a Hispanic grocery chain with locations throughout the Bay Area, California. The CEO of Mi Pueblo is contemplating opening a new store location in East Palo Alto, CA, which has been without a local, full-service grocery store for over 20 years. Case objectives are for students to develop an understanding of how the grocery industry operates, the risks and opportunities associated with opening a new grocery store location, and the impact on social, environmental, and economic sustainability. The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) framework is used to analyze whether or not it is feasible for Mi Pueblo to open a new location in East Palo Alto. This case may be used with students in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses.

description: Perchlorate (ClO4−) industrial wastewater requires efﬁcient removal to prevent adverse environmental impacts, however, high concentration and low biodegradability give rise to poor ClO4− bioreduction performance. S2−-autotrophic granular sludge (S2−-AuGS) was firstly cultivated for high concentration perchlorate (ClO4−) removal in the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor (ClO4−: 150 mg L−1). Simultaneously, the S2− was utilized to control the SO42− generation as electron donor, the effluent SO42− concentration (190 mg L−1) was satisfied with drinking water standard (250 mg L−1). Under the optimized condition of hydraulic retention time (HRT) (6 h) and S2−/ClO4− molar ratio (2.2), more EPS was secreted, which promoted the S2−-AuGS formation and stability. Though acclimation of 146 d, the S2−-AuGS was formed with a large average granular sludge size (612 μm) and an excellent settleability (sludge volume index: SVI5/SVI30 = 1). With the mature S2−-AuGS formation, the highest ClO4− and S2− loading was increased to 1.06 and 0.75 kg m−3 d−1. Interestingly, Georgfuchsia, Methyloversatilis, Sulfurisoma, and Exiguobacterium were the main microbial community in the S2−-AuGS. This study proposed to form a novel S2−-AuGS for developing the high ClO4− concentration removal performance and to utilize the S2− as an electron donor for controlling the excessive SO42− generation.

COMMENT
Only the reports of T. brachydontium and T. mutabile Bruch ex De Not. nom. illeg. have been considered here for this species. Ros et al. (2022) recognized besides T. brachydontium s.s., another three species that had been considered as infraspecific taxa (T. herzogii Ros, O.Werner & R.D.Porley and T. meridionale Ros, O.Werner & R.D.Porley) or synonymized with T. brachydontium (T. littorale Mitt.). The identity and distribution of the T. brachydontium complex in Algeria should be reevaluated following the new taxonomical criteria.

description: The article attempts to show the work of Ingmar Bergman, in particular his 1987 quasi‑autobiography The Magic Lantern, from the perspective of the medical humanities. Following a slew of Swedish commentators, the article shows the problematic nature of reading Bergman’s text autobiographically, instead focusing on numerous representations of the body and illness. The somatic, psychic and psychosomatic insecurities of the narrator not only occupy a central place here, but they are also one of the basic themes of the Swedish director’s whole oeuvre (they appear, for instance, in the related narrative of Fanny and Alexander). The article also shows how Bergman benefited from the achievements of the American anti‑psychiatry movement and how his literary texts fit into wider cultural contexts in the tradition of melancholy, carnivalesque and abject writing.

description: The age-old connection between the people and the land is something that seven women, who have organized themselves into a loosely fitted cooperative, are reviving. In the process of growing together as members of a cooperative, these women in Macon County, Alabama, are not only promoting healthy living and nurturing community, but are also addressing the issue of food security by making nutritious affordable produce and other agricultural products available to their community. Additionally, they are illustrating alternative strategies of community and economic development. This article examines why they chose the structure of a loosely fitted cooperative over a traditional or formal cooperative, how relationship building and partnering has been integral to their individual and collective success, and what their aspirations are.
