Aromobates alboguttatus

description: Aromobates alboguttatus (Boulenger 1903) *
Holotype: BM 1947.2.13.88.
Type locality: “ Mérida, Estado Mérida, Venezuela, a 1,600 m.”
Distribution: Region 1. Andes of Estado Mérida.
Remarks: The species appears to have vanished in the wild (Barrio-Amorós and Santos 2012). Rivero (1982a) included Colostehus inflexus Rivero, 1978 in the synonymy of C. alboguttatus. La Marca (1997) recovered the species as Nephelobates inflexus, without explanation. Barrio-Amorós and Santos (2012) consider this species different from A. alboguttatus and valid, but awaiting proper attention and a redescription.

description: In today’s competitive world, businesses must offer high-quality products that can be delivered fast and cheaply. Three main strategies have been identified to solve this challenge: fast delivery, deploying inventory near to customers, and distributed production near to customers. Using Physical Internet concepts of resource sharing and flow consolidation leveraging modularization, standardization, interfaces, and protocols, Marcotte and Montreuil were the first to introduce the concept of Hyperconnected Mobile Production to contribute to the distributed production near-to-customers strategy. But their work only considered single tier supply chain. In this paper, we introduce Hyperconnected Mobile Supply Chains, a hyperconnected multi-party open hub network with plug-and-play modular mobile production units for the multi-layers involved across the supply chain system. We propose a decisionmaking framework for the strategic network design of hyperconnected mobile supply chains, for selecting the location, size, and number of facilities for open-hub network, leveraging capacity pooling and plug-and-play modular mobile production unit.

description: The aim of this paper is to highlight a specific form of discrimination related to the “melanin diversity”. This form of discrimination is often and unconsciously acted through the words. The results of this study are part of a wider research project with a view to detect stereotypes and prejudices relatedto skin color in primary school children. This research project had confirmed that the melanin prejudice is still present and widespread in this age group and it allows to focus on the words that children use to name skin colors and their meanings. Ethnocentric and white-centric shades are often hidden under these words.

Historical content

description: In April 2021, Galter Health Sciences Library was awarded a CLIR Recordings at Risk grant to digitize and make available its 16mm medical motion pictures collection. Due to a lack of descriptive records, the content of each film was not fully known until we were able to watch the digital copies. We were ultimately confronted with roughly 40 reels--roughly half the collection--that required access restrictions. The content requiring restriction ranged from glimpses of a recognizable face receiving routine medical care, to live surgery on research animals, and childbirth requiring extreme intervention. Because of this wide range, we decided to offer more than just unrestricted or restricted access levels, which would eliminate access to half of the collection and conflict with the spirit of the grant. Thus, we formed the Access Review Board, a group designed to assess content and grant or deny access. In this 30-minute education session, we presented the first draft of the conceptual framework. This framework focuses on four types of concerns in relation to historical audio/visual content including 1) disturbing visuals, 2) denigrating or discriminatory language, 3) privacy, 4) recruitment and participation of subjects.

description: Ammonia stands out as a promising option for maritime fuel, offering the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, its adoption comes with inherent risks, including: toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, and odor. As the maritime industry is in the initial stages of the exploration of using ammonia as fuel, it is imperative to acknowledge and address these risks. This work focuses on the acknowledging port authority and terminal operators, whose responsibilities are a safe and efficient facilities construction and inter terminal fuel transportations. This profound risk assessment should be conducted in advance to identify risks alongside with potential consequences. In this article, we provide a risk assessment framework consisting of qualitative and quantitative assessment tools. This framework can facilitate the responsible integration of ammonia as a maritime fuel at the port level. In particular, it can provide the port authorities with meaningful guidance for the prevention and risk mitigation strategies for ammonia storage and bunkering to the vessels. This work aligns with the concept of physical internet nodes, as it illustrates how an emerging application such as alternative fuel is embedded and integrated into a connected multi-machine system like inter-terminal logistics.

description: ZAMAK components typically have a high load-bearing capacity but show large variations in their limit loads and in the number of life cycles they can sustain. In this paper a new stochastic approach to account for accumulated damage is presented where weakening effects, such as impurities, pores and cracks, are considered as distributed defects and a Markov process is used to model the defect evolution. The basic ideas of this stochastic model are presented and sample calculations on die-cast ZAMAK components illustrate the field of application and the versatility of this approach.

description: This literature review analyzes the historical development of polo, its organizational structure, the course of the game, as well as the breeding, rearing, and training practices of polo horses. Frequently occurring ailments, such as musculoskeletal injuries, respiratory diseases, and internal illnesses, are highlighted. Lameness is a major problem, with injuries to the superficial digital flexor tendon being the most common cause. Other notable diseases include exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH), myositis, rhabdomyolysis, and equine infectious anemia (EIA). To ensure the welfare of polo horses, effective prevention and management strategies are crucial. These include proper training, the adaptation of the ground surface, appropriate shoeing, and compliance with animal welfare guidelines and association rules. Collaboration between associations, players, organizers, and veterinarians is crucial. Promoting responsible management practices and raising awareness among stakeholders can help ensure that polo continues to thrive while maintaining high animal welfare standards.

description: With the growth of data-driven services and expansion of mobile application usage, traditional methods of capacity and resource planning methods may not be efficient and often fall short in meeting rapid changes in the business landscape. Motivated by modularity, containerization, and open sharing concepts from Physical Internet (PI), this paper proposes an effective approach to determine facility capacity and production schedule to meet current and future demands by dynamically allocating Mobile Production Containers (MPCs). In this work, we develop an iterative two-stage decision making model with dynamic rolling horizon approach. The first stage is capacity planning stage, where the model determines key decisions such as project selection, facility opening periods and project-facility assignment. The second stage is resource planning stage, where the MPC allocation and relocation schedule and weekly production schedule are decided. To validate the proposed model, we conduct a case study over a modular construction supply chain focusing on the southeast US region. The results demonstrate our model not only delivers a consistent production schedule with balanced workload but also enhances resource utilization, leading to cost effectiveness.

description: CYP2A7 is one of the most understudied human cytochrome P450 enzymes and its contributions to either drug metabolism or endogenous biosynthesis pathways are not understood, as its only known enzymatic activities are the conversions of two proluciferin probe substrates. In addition, the CYP2A7 gene contains four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that cause missense mutations and have minor allele frequencies (MAFs) above 0.5. This means that the resulting amino acid changes occur in the majority of humans. In a previous study, we employed the reference standard sequence (called CYP2A7*1 in P450 nomenclature). For the present study, we created another CYP2A7 sequence that contains all four amino acid changes (Cys311, Glu169, Gly479, and Arg274) and labeled it CYP2A7-WT. Thus, it was the aim of this study to identify new substrates and inhibitors of CYP2A7 and to compare the properties of CYP2A7-WT with CYP2A7*1. We found several new proluciferin probe substrates for both enzyme variants (we also performed in silico studies to understand the activity difference between CYP2A7-WT and CYP2A7*1 on specific substrates), and we show that while they do not act on the standard CYP2A6 substrates nicotine, coumarin, or 7-ethoxycoumarin, both can hydroxylate diclofenac (as can CYP2A6). Moreover, we found ketoconazole, 1-benzylimidazole, and letrozole to be CYP2A7 inhibitors.

description: The scope of this deliverable is to report on the delivered training events across ELIXIR Nodes related to Data Management (DM) and Data Stewardship (DS). The delivered training events include both reruns of existing Node courses (that address the identified DM/DS training needs and gaps), as well as new courses developed in Task 2.2. This report provides an overview of the delivered DM/DS training events according to the ELIXIR-CONVERGE roadmap. 71 courses organised by 16 Countries/Nodes with more than 2000 participants were delivered in the observed period from Feb 2020 until Dec 2021. 41 of 71 courses have open-access training materials. Most frequently addressed topics were FAIR, Data Management Plans (DMPs), Data Management & Data Stewardship (DM/DS) and Reproducibility. Significantly more courses were about FAIR and DMP than Reproducibility and DM/DS. The materials for these topics will be consolidated and developed further in specific training hackathons (Task 2.2), similarly the T2.3 will help with identification of training needs and delivery of training solutions for Demonstrators (WP5, T5.4). Activity of all four tasks of ELIXIR-CONVERGE WP2 are closely interwoven together and all participants of WP2 collaborate tightly. Thus, WP2 partners worked together to collect data about training events (Training Inventory, T2.1) and matched training events with 14 priority training gaps in DM/DS identified by gap analysis (D2.1). The identified gaps have kicked off collaborative development of high-quality training materials, developed by experts across ELIXIR and beyond (T2.2). The training hackathons that will be organised by T2.2 will provide more new training materials and courses. Task 2.3 has focused on delivered training events that were reported by ELIXIR Nodes and are based on both new and existing training materials. The outreach activity (T2.4) will disseminate training activities and courses to ELIXIR Communities and Nodes, as well as to countries that strive to become new ELIXIR members. We will continue to work towards the harmonisation and compilation of DM/DS training in ELIXIR. The presented visualisation (Figures 2 and 3 in Chapter 5) will be continuously updated with new data in the Training Inventory in order to demonstrate how the delivery of DM/DS training events matches training gaps in the European ELIXIR network/community.

description: Background: Membrane sweeping has been shown to reduce time to the onset of labor in women at term but the effects of membrane sweeping in women with a prior cesarean delivery are largely unknown. Objective: To determine the effects of membrane sweeping on promoting labor in patients undergoing a trial of labor after cesarean. Study design: Searches were performed in Medline, Ovid, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials using a combination of keywords related to “membrane sweeping,” “membrane stripping,” “vaginal birth after cesarean,” and “trial of labor after cesarean” from inception of databases until April 2018. Study eligibility criteria: We included all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of singleton or twin gestations at 36 weeks or greater that evaluated prophylactic or prelabor membrane sweeping in patients undergoing a trial of labor after cesarean. Exclusion criteria were trials that did not include patients with a prior uterine scar or cesarean delivery, or that were studies of membrane sweeping during initiation of induction of labor. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: the primary outcome was the rate of spontaneous labor. Meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model of DerSimonian and Laird, to produce relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Two studies met inclusion criteria and were included in our meta-analysis (n = 361). Membrane sweeping did not have an effect on the onset of labor (RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.92–1.20). There was no significant difference for the rate of spontaneous vaginal delivery (RR 1.06, 95% CI 0.84–1.34), operative vaginal delivery (RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.25–3.78), or cesarean delivery (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.87–1.14). Conclusion: Membrane sweeping in patients planning a trial of labor after cesarean was not found to be effective in promoting the onset of labor. This systematic review highlights the limited data addressing the utility of membrane sweeping for women with prior cesarean delivery.

description: Objective: Detection of fetal growth restriction depends on the biometric standard definitions of normal variability. We examined the impact of correcting for differences in fetal growth potential on the variability of third-trimester size standards. Methods: Size standards, corrected differences in growth potential using Individualized Growth Assessment [IGA], were obtained in 119 pregnancies with normal neonatal growth outcomes. Using the same cohort, a second set of size standards, without these corrections, were determined with mixed modeling [IGA Cross-sectional]. An independent set of size standards, obtained by quantile regression in a population-based sample of 1387 pregnant women [World Health Organization (WHO)], was also evaluated. The anatomical parameters studied included BPD, HC, AC, FDL, THC, HDL, ArmC and EWT whenever possible. The variability measures compared were percent deviation reference range [IGA] or twice the coefficient of variation [IGA Cross-sectional, WHO] at weekly time points between 28 and 38 weeks, menstrual age. Results: All six IGA variabilities were significantly smaller [range: 19–60%] when IGA and IGA-cross-sectional size standards were compared. Similar IGA-WHO comparisons showed that the IGA variabilities for 5 of 6 anatomical parameters were significantly smaller [range: 26–32%; exception: FDL (5.8%)]. Comparisons of cross-sectional size standards gave variable results depending on the anatomical parameter studied. Conclusions: Third-trimester variability measures, based on IGA, were consistently lower than those obtained with conventional cross-sectional methods in normal pregnancies. These results were found when the identical sample was used in both IGA and cross-sectional analyses. Decreased variability can improve the sensitivity of IGA for detecting restricted growth and may be partly responsible for its ability to identify different types of growth abnormalities earlier in pregnancy.

description: This paper investigates the resilience of supply chains (SCs) against a backdrop of escalating disruptions, developing a quantitative, performance-oriented metric to evaluate SC readiness and the efficacy of Physical Internet (PI) concepts in enhancing SC resilience. We employ the resilience triangle concept, traditionally used in infrastructure resilience assessments, to measure SC performance dynamics over time. Our findings reveal that PI concepts significantly improve SC resilience by improving the distribution and storage of goods across a network of Open Contracted Storage Centers (OCSCs). Sensitivity analysis further demonstrates the profitability of these strategies, even when the holding cost ratio in OCSCs is substantially higher than in traditional warehouses. This research contributes to the field by providing a framework for a priori SC resilience assessment, offering insights into the potential of PI concepts to create more adaptive, robust, and efficient SCs. Future research directions include applying these findings to various industrial sectors and exploring long-term impacts on global SC networks.

description: Objective: The current meta-analysis evaluates the perinatal outcomes of twin pregnancies in pregnant women 35 years or older (advanced maternal age) compared with less than 35 years at the time of delivery. Study design: A search was conducted up to March 2018. Electronic databases that were used in our research included; Embase (NO Medline), Ovid Medline, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria were twin pregnancies; a comparison between pregnant women aged ≥35 years versus <35 years at the time of delivery and reported perinatal outcomes. Review articles, case reports, and case series were excluded. Data analysis was performed using the Cochrane’s Review Manager 5.3 software. Pooled odds ratio for dichotomous outcomes or mean difference for continuous outcomes were calculated using a random effects model. I2 test was performed to assess heterogeneity. The quality of each accepted article was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Results: Our search yielded 1622 publications, of which 25 were assessed for eligibility. A total of 13 studies met our final inclusion criteria. In twin pregnancies, advanced maternal age was associated with a lower incidence of preterm birth prior to 37 weeks’ gestation (OR 0.89 [95% CI 0.83–0.95]) compared with women under 35 years at the time of delivery. Gestational diabetes (OR 1.57 [95% CI 1.24–1.98]) and cesarean deliveries (OR 1.69 [95% CI 1.52–1.87]) were significantly higher among women in the advanced maternal age group. All other measured outcomes, such as preterm delivery before 32 weeks’ gestation, hypertension disorders, small for gestational age, birth weight under 2500 or 1500 g, need for neonatal intensive care admission and perinatal death were comparable between the groups. Conclusions: This meta-analysis implies that advanced maternal age mothers in the setting of twin pregnancy is associated with comparable outcomes to nonadvanced maternal age mothers. The only outstanding differences were higher rates of GDM and cesarean deliveries in the advanced maternal age (AMA) group.

description: Resource allocations in an election system, often with hundreds of polling locations over a territory such as a county, with the aim that voters receive fair and efficient services, is a challenging problem, as election resources are limited and the number of expected voters can be highly volatile through the voting period. This paper develops two propositions to ensure efficiency, fairness, resilience, and security. The first is to leverage Physical Internet (PI) principles, notably setting up a “secure election physical intranet” (SEPI) based on open resource sharing and flow consolidation between election facilities in the territory. The second is to adopt a smart dynamic resource allocation methodology within the SEPI based on queueing networks and lexicographic optimization. A queueing model is developed to provide feasible combinations of resources and individual performances for each polling location by considering layout and utilization constraints. A two-stage lexicographic optimizer receives the queueing model’s outputs and finds an optimal solution that is less expensive, fast, and fair. A scenario-based case study validates the proposed methodology based on data from the 2020 US Presidential Election in Fulton County, Georgia, USA.

description: Objective: Detection of fetal growth restriction depends on the biometric standard definitions of normal variability. We examined the impact of correcting for differences in fetal growth potential on the variability of third-trimester size standards. Methods: Size standards, corrected differences in growth potential using Individualized Growth Assessment [IGA], were obtained in 119 pregnancies with normal neonatal growth outcomes. Using the same cohort, a second set of size standards, without these corrections, were determined with mixed modeling [IGA Cross-sectional]. An independent set of size standards, obtained by quantile regression in a population-based sample of 1387 pregnant women [World Health Organization (WHO)], was also evaluated. The anatomical parameters studied included BPD, HC, AC, FDL, THC, HDL, ArmC and EWT whenever possible. The variability measures compared were percent deviation reference range [IGA] or twice the coefficient of variation [IGA Cross-sectional, WHO] at weekly time points between 28 and 38 weeks, menstrual age. Results: All six IGA variabilities were significantly smaller [range: 19–60%] when IGA and IGA-cross-sectional size standards were compared. Similar IGA-WHO comparisons showed that the IGA variabilities for 5 of 6 anatomical parameters were significantly smaller [range: 26–32%; exception: FDL (5.8%)]. Comparisons of cross-sectional size standards gave variable results depending on the anatomical parameter studied. Conclusions: Third-trimester variability measures, based on IGA, were consistently lower than those obtained with conventional cross-sectional methods in normal pregnancies. These results were found when the identical sample was used in both IGA and cross-sectional analyses. Decreased variability can improve the sensitivity of IGA for detecting restricted growth and may be partly responsible for its ability to identify different types of growth abnormalities earlier in pregnancy.

description: This paper introduces an innovative directional routing protocol tailored for the Physical Internet (PI), utilizing a sector-based approach that dynamically adjusts to optimize logistics across multiple transportation network tiers. By dividing the network into distinct sectors and implementing a hierarchical tier system, this method enhances the efficiency, reliability, and responsiveness of routing decisions by integrating real-time data on traffic density, container locations, and network disruptions. Our methodology combines sector-based logic with dynamic routing tables and modular PIcontainer capabilities, which facilitates the consolidation of shipments and improves the adaptability of the logistics network. Through comprehensive simulations, we demonstrate how our approach significantly reduces total travel miles, increases truck fill rates, and avoids congested hubs, thereby minimizing idle time and enhancing overall operational efficiency. The findings underscore the potential of sector-based dynamic routing in achieving a more sustainable and resilient logistics network, paving the way for future innovations in the Physical Internet. Future research will focus on integrating multimodal transport options, refining the dynamic adjustment mechanisms, and further optimizing the routing protocol to handle diverse and changing logistics demands efficiently.

description: Background: S. aureus biofilm serves a major role in pathogenesis. Two of the major components of bacterial biofilm are Polysaccharides intercellular adhesions (PIA) and surface proteins. It is not known how PIA and surface proteins expressions are affected in presence of blood serum. Analyses of surface proteins expressions will provide more effective biomarker discovery that might lead to development of antimicrobial therapeutics to meet the challenges of biofilm-related infections.

Method: Secondary cultures of S. aureus Philips, a biofilm-forming bacterium, were generated by inoculating 1 ml of overnight culture into 50 ml of TSB. Bacteria were cultured at several concentrations of blood serum and found that 12.5% supplemented blood serum provide s similar growth curve as normal TSB (100%). One and 2 D SASPAGE were used to separate proteins and the differentially expressed proteins were identified by nano-LC/MS.
Results: Polysaccharide intercellular adhesions production was significantly increased due to the addition of blood serum in the media. We also identified two serum proteins, apolipoprotein and globulin (Fc and Fab), that remained attached with the membrane fraction of bacterial proteins.

Conclusion: These results have strongly demonstrated that blood serum influences the exopolysaccharide expression in S. aureus.

description: The use of rivers as transport corridors offers a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative to road transport, facilitating the seamless movement of cargo from major maritime hubs to hinterland port cities. The objective of this research is to design an efficient transport service, inspired by the principles of the Physical Internet (PI), in a network that includes seaports and a set of river ports. This specific network is a missing link between local/regional road networks and deep-sea transportation lines. We consider the location of PI hubs as well as the determination of transportation routes, vessels and frequencies. We propose a mixed integer linear programming formulation of a service network design problem in the river network and explore the impact of a few business constraints inspired by the rules of the PI.

description: For the implementation of electrified fleets, network feasibility is a large hurdle, simplified by battery swapping and charging technology. This paper identifies seven major stakeholders in the NetZero goal towards road-freight electrification, battery suppliers, energy and power distribution representatives, fleet carriers, hub operators, logistics operators, users of the system, and truck drivers. The argument of loose cooperation between stakeholders will enable a simplified and efficient integration of electric trucks into trucking systems following the Physical Internet methodology. Under the goal of hyperconnected logistic networks, the targets of cooperation, associated benefits, and overall outcomes are outlined. The paper seeks to demonstrate how guiding expectations from design to implementation can maximize environmental impact and build resiliency at every level of the network.

Holotype: MBUCV 6168.
Type locality: “ Chorotal, 15 km. al SE de La Azulita, 1,880 m, Estado Mérida, Venezuela.”
Distribution: Region 1. Southwestern Sierra de la Culata, Mérida, 1,800 to 3,300 m asl. Recently reported along the way from Mérida to El Morro (Image 74B).
Remarks: This species has received some attention (Barrio-Amorós et al. 2010; La Marca and Otero 2012). The first authors reported a surviving population of around 56 to 129 adults in 2006, and redescribed the species from topotypic material. That population had a high presence of fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Lampo et al. 2008; Barrio-Amorós and Lampo 2009). La Marca and Otero (2012) also redescribed the species based on the holotype and clarified the confusion regarding the catalog data of the type series and commented on its conservation status.
