description: Eumerus sp. nr. erythrocerus sensu Smit et al. (2017)
(Figs 67–68)
Examined specimens. 2♂, 4♀, Asir, Abha, Madenate Al-Ameer Sultan, 25.ii–25.v.2002, Malaise trap, H.A. Dawah & M. Abdullah (NMWC; CERS). Smit et al. (2017) had one female of erythrocerus collected from Yemen that they identified as Eumerus sp. nr. erythrocerus. Dr. Smit also examined 1♂ of our specimens and suggested that it should be recorded as Eumerus sp. nr. erythrocerus.
Remarks. We prefer to regard the females and males as Eumerus sp. nr. erythrocerus until such time as molecular investigation can reveal their true identity. Also since the diagnostic characters of the species are known from the male sex there is always the slight possibility that the female is of another species.
Genus Orthonevra Macquart
This genus is made up of more than 49 species mostly in the Palaearctic region. Larvae are present in wetlands as a saprophagous species; in decaying vegetation and organically rich mud alongside ponds and streams in woods, in still and slow-moving water, open areas in deciduous forest and mixed arboreal forest, and areas subject to seasonal flooding (Stubbs & Falk 2002; Rotheray & Gilbet 2011; Speight 2020). The adults have a concave face leading smoothly to the projecting margin of the mouth. In some species there is a recurving of the wing crossvein connecting R4+5 to M1+2 (e.g. O. nobilis (Fallén) or not (e.g. O. geniculata (Meigen). The single unidentified specimen we have (Fig. 69) shows this vein not to be recurved and so the genus is inserted in the key given as having no recurving of the vein.

Towards active and interactive visual learning

Year: 2017

description: Modern computer vision models mostly rely on massive human annotated datasets for supervised training. The models are typically learned from the supervision of static datasets in a passive learning manner. As the performance on classical computer vision tasks tends to saturate, novel visual tasks emerged and posed challenges to the traditional passive learning paradigm. We explored such new settings where huge dataset supervisions are scarce, and novellearning paradigms beyond passive training are proposed. We specifically focused on the following three visual learning scenarios, in which we showed active and interactive learning paradigms are better suited than traditional passive learning.     First, we focused on histopathological image classification with a limited annotation budget. We proposed an active selection algorithm via constrained submodular function maximization. The proposed method encourages uncertainty reduction as well as selection diversity. We also show the greedy-like algorithm has near optimal theoretical guarantee and scalable to large scale unlabeled data. Second, we proposed a novel semantic amodal segmentation task in which occluded object segmentation masks are predicted. To address the challenge of inadequate hard examples, we proposed to actively generate hard synthetic examples for training. Experiment results demonstrate improved performance against baselines. We also show the amodal segmentation can be applied to spatial depth ordering. Third, we proposed an interactive learning approach to generate natural language dialogue between two conversation agents, in order to accomplish a visual ground task. Experiment results showed that the interactive learning significantly improved the supervised training baseline, and the performance gains most when multiple models are simultaneously updated through mutual interaction. The analysis on the generated conversations showed the thorough interactive training, two agents learned to evolve the communication towards a more efficient direction, and improved the task success rate.
Nīshāpūr figural buff ware pottery

description: This thesis focuses on Nīshāpūr buff ware, one of the twelve types of Nishapur pottery  (9th-10th century A.D.) excavated from the Nīshāpūr site from 1937-1940 and first identified  and analyzed by Charles K. Wilkinson. Nīshāpūr buff ware features enigmatic images of birds,  quadrupeds, and humans rendered in a unique combination of yellow, green, black, and  sometimes red colors. While these vessels in museum collections, auction catalogues, and  scholarly publications feature a variety of images and are plentiful, almost the entire corpus of  these materials has no provenance and is heavily restored, consequently creating a challenge in  extrapolating information.  This thesis hopes to offer new insight into the history of the collection and postexcavation  of Nīshāpūr figural buff ware in museums around the world through a comparative  study of quantity, quality, and aesthetics that has great potential to heighten our understanding of  the production of ceramics in that era. Furthermore, juxtaposing provenanced and  unprovenanced Nīshāpūr figural buff ware could reveal issues concerning authenticity, such as  the issues of fakes and forgeries as well as the role of heavy restoration in scholarly  interpretation.

description: Una atmósfera neumática, una envolvente o membrana de polietileno similiar a un pulmón, pero capaz de generar sensaciones en su interior. Otoños [o Yellow is the new white] es una obra artística con 7 metros de largo y 2,5 metros de diámetro, la cuál puede y debe ser transitada, llegando el espectador a su interior para poder visualizar una serie de proyecciones de hojas, las cuáles se acompañan con el sonido de las aves y el viento. Un entorno en el que recordar atmósferas otoñales.

En numerosas ocasiones hacemos referencia a los espacios de encuentro como entornos convergentes o circulares, en los que los usuarios pueden aglutinarse y establecer vínculos visuales, verbales, etc. No obstante, reivindicamos la línea como espacio a recuperar de movimiento y acción, capaz de reunir diversos usos que no giren entorno únicamente al de caminar o correr. Se propone así la construcción de un espacio de reunión para el exterior o interior,con un patrón lo suficientemente genérico como para adaptarse a diferentes morfologías, capaces de generar acciones que propicien la activación de espacios poco usados o mal usamos. En este sentido, se produce un objeto de arquitectura neumática con polietileno de galga 200 mediante soldadura, por medio de planchas de calor y técnica de adhesión en seco.

Así, este objeto podría ser un nuevo artefacto que funcionase a modo de articulador del espacio de la ciudad y cosiese los distintos tejidos que nos encontramos inconexos en la urbe. Esta intervención se llevaría a cabo preferiblemente en lugares poco transitados o no diseñados específicamente para una función, generándose un nuevo imaginario, una atracción de aforo y fomentando actividades de socialización que permitan procesos de empoderamiento y esparcimiento del público, entendiendo que los usuarios pueden percibir la realidad superando herencias culturales y siendo capaces de imaginar nuevos usos mediante el extrañamiento producido por este elemento localizado en distintas zonas de oportunidad.

Se conforma así una nueva interpretación del espacio colectivo entendido como áreas de encuentro comunitario, independientemente de las características del espacio donde se encuentre, puesto que estamos ante una generación de atmósferas artificiales.
Understanding the role of BRCA1 in redox homeostasis regulation
Creators: name: Zwyea, Susan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The BRCA1 (Breast Cancer 1, early onset) tumor suppressor gene is the most frequently mutated gene in familial breast cancer. Loss of BRCA1 function results in severe defects in DNA double-strand break repair and increased reactive oxygen species, both of which are threats to genomic stability.  Although BRCA1 has been extensively studied, how it regulates redox homeostasis remains poorly understood and need to be further elucidated. Of note, a recent study suggested that BRCA1 promotes the transcription of SOD2/MnSOD, the mitochondrial superoxide dismutase.   In this study, we found that BRCA1 depletion showed limited effect on SOD2 mRNA levels in multiple settings. Instead, we found an inverse between BRCA1 and SOD2 protein abundance, as breast cancer cells depleted of BRCA1 show increased SOD2 protein levels. In addition, deletion of Brca1 in mice led to increased SOD2 amount in the liver. Our studies suggest that BRCA1 may be involved in the regulation of SOD2 protein stability and/or that SOD2 is stabilized in response to the oxidative stress induced by BRCA1 loss.  Our gene expression analysis of human breast cancers showed that triple negative breast cancers have the highest SOD2 mRNA levels among all subtypes.  Interestingly, low SOD2 mRNA level is associated with slightly better prognosis in all patients but substantially worse survival in patients with triple negative or HER2-positive tumors. This finding suggests that SOD2 may modulate sensitivity of breast cancer cells to chemotherapies. Indeed, triple negative breast cancer cell lines depleted of SOD2 show resistance to breast cancer chemotherapies. Taken together, our studies identify a novel mechanism of BRCA1 in regulating redox homeostasis and a novel role of SOD2 in modulating therapy response.

Turbulence in transition?
Creators: name: Spath, Andrew M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation examines the implications of leadership change on political activism in authoritarian regimes. It asks and answers the question, “Why do some leader transitions induce significant societal activism while others pass without the commotion of contentious activities?” Previous research examines leadership succession as an elite-level event. Instead, this dissertation argues that succession should also be understood as a relational event involving both government and society. Existing research also tends to focus on how emergent leaders are selected and take power, whereas this analysis sees leader succession as a causal event that affects government-activist interaction. The core argument is that authoritarian leader changes often stimulate the public expression of demands and grievances, but the extent to which they do so is influenced by differences in how leaders change and the institutional context in which transitions takes place. This effect arises because the transitional period introduces uncertainty into the relationship between state and society, an uncertainty that incentivizes societal activism and creates opportunities for activists to test boundaries and express demands and grievances. The dissertation assesses these claims through multiple methods, including (1) cross-national, quantitative analysis of all national leader changes from 1950-2014, and (2) case studies of leader transitions in Jordan (1999) and Syria (2000) that combine qualitative data from interviews and archival materials with quantitative analysis of contentious events coded from newspaper reports in the years surrounding these successions. The findings demonstrate that leader succession creates an environment that invites contentious activism, but that this “succession-contention connection” is moderated by characteristics of the succession itself and the political institutional context in which it occurs.

Examined specimens. 1♂, Najran, Alshurfa, 20.i.2014, Malaise trap, H.A. Dawah (NMWC).
Distribution. The taxon was described from Kenya and is further recorded from Tanzania.
Remarks. Smit et al. (2017) examined both sexes including the dissected male genitalia of material originating from Yemen, which was closely related to P. naso and compared them with the original description of P. naso, but they concluded that none of the specimens fit the original description perfectly. They took into account a further similar species, P. nasutus Bezzi from Tanzania and Ethiopia (including Eritrea), of which the description is inadequate for recognition and of which they could not examine types. Therefore, they recorded the species they had as ‘cf. naso’. Of the Najran male we therefore compared its terminalia with that of Stuckenberg’s 1954a:129, fig. 34 of the terminalia in profile. The metric comparison made is the measurement of Stuckenberg’s figure using a millimetre ruler as against the measurement of the Najran specimen using an eyepiece graticule. The principle difference lies in the surstylus, which in the Najran specimen has a right-angled truncate apex, whereas in Stuckenberg’s figure it is an obliquely roundedly truncate, resembling a beak. Also the length of the surstylus as against the length of the epandrium in the Najran specimen is in a ratio of 9:15, whereas in Stuckenberg’s figure it is 21:22. In the Najran specimen the fine setulae on the sternites are yellow (not mentioned in the original description). Perhaps these differences are due to morphologically different populations from different geographical regions. Stuckenberg 1954a:108, figs 10–13 depicts a more profoundly different structure in the male genitalia of P. longiventris, which is a widely-distributed and often common species found throughout sub-Saharan Africa and also reported from Yemen.

Empowered storytelling?

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Storytelling is powerful and can be transformative.  We make sense of who we are and the world around us through narratives and the act of storytelling.  Content providers, from Silicon Valley to Hollywood and Madison Avenue, continue to search for ways to create authentic stories that emotionally move consumers in a positive manner, especially as it relates to the Millennial consumer, who continues to be an enigma to marketers and advertisers.  This generation is multifaceted, introspective, and empathetic as well as possesses an open-mind to others (Tanenhaus 2014).  Burgeoning television networks like OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), UP TV, ASPIRE TV, and events such as the “International Faith and Family Film Festival at Megafest” and Oprah’s “The Life You Want Weekend” are all current platforms that are presenting positive and emotionally engaging narratives as well as empowering programming.  Having the ability to articulate an impactful story that encourages Millennial consumers to be better, as well as live to their fullest potential, is paramount to building connections with these consumers that invite loyalty and are sustainable.        This research examines narrative transportation theory, the process by which consumers become absorbed or lost in a story.  Specifically, this research takes a look at the impact that storytelling, which incorporates the emotion of empowerment, has on Millennial consumers.  Typically, the cognitive processes of this theory accentuate the strong emotional responses, which the literature groups together into the category of producing empathy.  Yet, we argue that the transformative power of storytelling can evoke more than just empathy from the receiver of the story.  There may be a gamut of positive emotions Millennial consumers experience when viewing empowered narratives.  Moreover, the storyteller’s involvement in creating narratives that empower may positively impact consumer purchase intent and message recall of Millennials.  Using qualitative design and inquiry, this research uncovers insights as to why narrative transportation works and what makes it so emotionally impactful.
Analysis of the interactions between GABAa receptor and L-triiodothyronine using electrophysiology and molecular dynamics simulations
Creators: name: Westergard, Thomas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Disorders of the thyroid cause a multitude of neurological dysfunctions including depression, anxiety, and psychosis. Thyroid hormones have been primarily thought to act via genomic mechanisms throughout the organism; however, another mechanism has been proposed for the adult brain. Functional experiments on expressed recombinant GABAA receptors demonstrated a rapid inhibition of GABA responses in the presence of the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3), and, at much higher concentrations of T3 alone, a direct stimulation of receptor activity. We hypothesize that T3 acts directly on GABAA receptors via a mechanism similar to that of neurosteroids. To determine this mechanism of T3, competition studies with T3 against molecules with known binding motifs (ivermectin) were investigated utilizing two-electrode voltage-clamp measurements of the α1β1γ2 GABAA receptor expressed in Xenopus oocytes. T3 inhibited ivermectin in a competitive manner, with a Schild plot slope of 1.27 ± 0.03 and no significant difference from unity. All atom molecular dynamics were employed to analyze the possible interaction of T3 and the GABAA receptor (based on the crystal structure of the related glutamate-gated chloride channel). In simulations, T3 stabilizes in the transmembrane domain of the GABAA receptor in a region that is associated with the activation by neurosteroids. Our results provide strong evidence supporting earlier experimental findings indicating a role of T3 in regulating the activity of GABAA receptors in brain.
Poétiques de la filiation. Clément Marot et ses maîtres
Creators: name: Delvallée, Ellen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation focuses on the evolution of French poetry in the early Renaissance, by way of Clément Marot’s debt to three writers of the previous generation, the “Grands Rhétoriqueurs” Jean Lemaire, Guillaume Cretin, and Jean Marot (Clément’s father). The recent rehabilitation of the Rhétoriqueurs has left the premise of a “Marotic revolution” largely untouched, for the younger Marot developed a simpler, less grandiloquent poetic style than his predecessors and abandoned the duties of epideictic historiography in favor of shorter forms and lighter subjects. My research challenges this premise, along with the artificial border between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance traditionally set around the year 1500 by French literary history. I contend that Marot’s art has to be studied in a “genealogical” light as much as on its own terms, and my goal was to reevaluate the influences that played a most direct role in shaping it. First, through close comparative readings of the occasional epideictic poetry addressed by the four writers of the corpus to their patrons (in particular funeral laments, historiography and propaganda works), I show how the work of three Rhétoriqueurs of the last generation was already evolving in response to shifts affecting court culture and its duties; and how these changes, in turn, announced and nurtured their successor’s innovations. Second, I analyze Clément’s own account of this process: for it was his habit to salute the three masters who trained or advised him, thereby acknowledging his debt – or moving past it, albeit never in a polemical fashion. Whether he ostensibly avoided their poetic practices or tacitly copied them, whether he presented himself as a grateful apprentice or as a mature author making his mark, the younger Marot kept sketching out a history of recent poetry along with a tale of his own life. By studying actual, objective changes regarding poetic genres together with the personal narrative that highlights and makes retrospective sense of some of them, I show how Marot’s work implies and builds up a succession scenario, characterized by variety and subtlety rather than by the kind of rupture dramatized by later literary movements.

description: This thesis explores in depth the use of the concept of unreliable narrators in video games. It aims to understand how unreliable narrators are utilised, the characteristics of narrators, the disclosure of unreliable narrators, and the possible effects of unreliable narrators on interactivity and game endings. Within the scope of the research, Bastion, Braid, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Portal, which have quite different characteristics from each other, were examined and analysed with the close reading technique and the results were compared with each other. This research reveals that the use of unreliable narrators in video games is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. The games analyzed show that the unreliable narrator is integrated with game design, gameplay, visual and auditory elements. As a result, it is revealed that the unreliable narrator is used as a complex narrative technique in video games as in literature and cinema. It also provides comprehensive information on how the unreliable narrator in games contributes to game design and the communication between the designer and the player. The thesis offers a new perspective on narrative in the field of game studies and helps us to better understand the power and structures of the medium, which will lead to the design of even more quality and innovative products in the future.

Etymology
The genus name (gender masculine) is an anagram of Allantogonus, referring to the similarities (telomere almost as slender as solenomere) with this genus.
Remarks
In the vial containing the holotype of the type species of Notogallanus gen. nov., Richard Hoffman had placed a label saying “really bizarre new genus”, a statement with which it is difficult to disagree. In the key to genera of “ Odontopyginae ” of Kraus (1966), Notogallanus mastacembalus gen. et sp. nov. runs all the way to Odontopyge, although underways the similarities with Allantogonus (couplet 4, telomere roughly same shape as telomere) and Prionopetalum (couplet 22, distal part of telomere very slender) may cause confusion. A very long, thin telomere is also present in Multipronopea agneteae gen. et sp. nov. In the latter, however, the solenomere is smooth and has a huge basal spine, while the telomere is coarsely dentate, whereas in Notogallanus mastacembalus gen. et sp. nov., the solenomere is microserrate and has no basal spine, while the telomere is almost smooth. The microserrate solenomere seems to be a unique feature of this genus. There are other odontopygids in which the solenomere has a more or less sawlike row of denticles, but these are then much larger and/or not placed on the margin of the solenomere, see, e.g., Attems (1935: fig. 91), Kraus (1960: fig. 220) and Frederiksen & Enghoff (2015: figs 2b, 3c) for Rhanphidarpoides spp., or Kraus (1958a: figs 111, 115) for Rhamphidarpella flagellosa Kraus, 1958 and Rhamphidarpe occidentalis Kraus, 1958.

Scythropiodes Matsumura, 1931: 1099. Type species: Scythropiodes seriatopunctata Matsumura, 1931 = Protobathra leucostola Meyrick, 1921.
Generic characters. Adult (Figs 1–2). Head with appressed scales on frons, with raised scales on vertex (Fig. 1 a); compound eye developed, almost as wide as frons (Fig. 1 b). Antenna (Fig. 1 c) filiform, with short cilia ventrally in males of some species, about three-fourths length of forewing. Labial palpus upturned, third palpomere as long as or slightly shorter than second, acute terminally (Fig. 1 d). Thorax with tergum slightly raised. Forewing (Fig. 2) subrectangular, R4 and R5 stalked basally, R5 to termen, M1 parallel with M2, M2 and M3 proximate at base, basal fork 1/3–1/2 length of 1A+2A. Hindwing (Fig. 2) subtrapezoidal, Rs and M1 stalked basally, M2 parallel with M3, M3 connate or coincident with CuA1 basally.
Male genitalia (Fig. 3 a). Tegumen subrectangular. Uncus absent. Gnathos hooked. Valva variable in shape. Transtilla and juxta often with lateral lobes.
Female genitalia (Fig. 3 b). Papillae anales elongate rectangular. Apophysis posteriores about two to three times length of apophysis anteriores. Ostium bursae situated between seventh and eighth sterna. Corpus bursae membranous; signum usually present.
Diagnosis. Scythropiodes is similar to Odites, but can be separated from it by the well-developed, hooked gnathos in the male genitalia. In Odites, the gnathos is reduced or absent.

Two-stage design for phase II cancer clinical trials with multiple endpoints
Creators: name: Gu, Hui

description: The main purpose of a single-arm phase II cancer trial of a new regimen is to determine  whether it has sufficient anti-tumor activity against a specific type of tumor to warrant its  further clinical development. Such a research question can be answered under the frame-  work of hypothesis testing. With the advent of targeted therapies that prolong disease  stabilization, cancer patients typically experience stable disease (SD) rather than tumor  shrinkage. It has been shown that patients with SD also achieve clinical benefits. There-  fore, when evaluating the anti-tumor activity of a new treatment, clinicians are interested  not only in overall response rate (complete or partial response(s)), but also in other types  of measurements indicating clinical benefit. Taking two primary efficacy endpoints as an  example, if the new treatment can improve on either endpoint(s), it may be promising for  further evaluation. Therefore, "OR" logical relationship between the two primary efficacy  endpoints is used when specifying the alternative hypothesis. In phase II cancer clinical  trials, two-stage designs rather than single-stage ones are widely used for its possibility  of early termination for futility to protect cancer patients. Motivated by two real cancer  clinical trials, we propose a single-arm two-stage phase II cancer clinical trial design with  two dichotomous alternative primary efficacy endpoints. Because of unknown correlation  between two endpoints at the design stage, minimax rule is used to determine the optimal  design, which minimizes the maximum of the expected sample size among all possible   correlations, subject to the type I and II error constraints. Optimal designs for a variety of  design parameters as well as the corresponding operating characteristics are provided. In  addition, the statistical inferences of the design are studied. The MLE point estimators as  well as  confidence regions for the true event rates for the two efficacy endpoints are derived.  Three types of confidence regions are obtained by inverting likelihood based test statistics:  Wald, Score, and Likelihood ratio statistics. Among the three, the likelihood ratio-type  confidence region performs the best in terms of good coverage probability and comparable  expected area, and thus is recommended for this two-endpoint two-stage design.

Microbial host-mutualist communications in marine organisms
Creators: name: Gula, Rachel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Mutualistic symbionts communicate with their hosts and can control host organ development. To determine if symbionts influence development in the giant clam Hippopus hippopus, I compared growth and cell proliferation in treatments of juveniles either inoculated or not inoculated (control) with Symbiodinium sp. Controls grew even without symbionts (1.03±0.41 µm/d, SE). Inoculated individuals grew significantly faster (2.91±0.37 µm/d) than control individuals (P<0.001). However, shell lengths did not significantly differ between treatments until day 22 post-fertilization, suggesting a delay in growth effects. Proliferating clam cells were randomly distributed (P=0.99) at day 13 but became non-randomly distributed (P=0.002) with increased proliferation within ~25 µm of a Symbiodinium at day 26. These results indicate that H. hippopus has a facultative period over which juveniles can still grow without Symbiodinium. I also reviewed current literature to determine what communication mechanisms may be inducing these effects in H. Hippopus. Host-mutualist interactions in giant clams and other marine species may involve a pathogen recognition mechanism such as MAMP/PRR pairing (including the prevalent lectin/glycan recognition), or the complement system.
