Ricstygnus

description: Ricstygnus gen. nov.
Etymology. The genus name is a composite of Ric, a homage to my friend Ricardo Pinto-da-Rocha, who published the only monographic treatment of the Stygnidae to date, plus Stygnus, the type genus of the family, and should be treated as being masculine in gender.
Type species. Ricstygnus quineti sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Differs from all other Stygninae by: (1) presence of dorso-basal hollow in ventral plate containing a multiply folded haematodocha (instead of absence); (2) distal part of ventral plate forming roof with 2 straight prongs (instead of smooth, without roof); (3) intermediate setae of ventral plate short and situated dorsally (instead of usually long and laterally placed, but see Pinto-da Rocha, 1997 figs. 574 and 577 for exceptions in Sickesia and Protimesius); (4) scutal armature consisting of 1 pair of paramedian acuminate tubercles on each area III to posterior margin (instead of 1 pair of tubercles on area III); (5) main armature consisting of 1 pair of paramedian acuminate spines on free tergite I (instead of armature of free tergites stouter at free tergite III); (6) scutum outline subtrapezoid, widest at posterior border with 2 constrictions (instead of subrectangular, narrowest at posterior border); (7) carapace as long as abdominal scutum (instead of clearly shorter); and (8) scutal groove deeply projected into area I separating it into 2 triangular halves and reaching groove II (instead of not reaching groove 2 and causing much smaller deformation of area I). The combination of (9) presence of cornute macrosetae, consisting of 3 pairs of large, flattened curved distal macrosetae of ventral plate and (10) basal setae of ventral plate clearly transverse instead of oblique, relates Ricstygnus gen. nov. to Stygnus, Sickesia (distal macrosetae normal) and Pickeliana. The presence of interocular stout spine (11) suggests that it is probably closest to Stygnus and Sickesia.

Stations. CP4357; CP4388.
The largest of the two specimens is 19 mm in length and 11mm in width (Fig. 14 A). The body was attached by its left side. The tunic is vitreous and naked. The oral siphon has 8 lobes and the atrial siphon 6 lobes, both with red spots. The body wall is thin, especially on the left side which is almost devoid of musculature. A network of vessels is conspicuous in the posterior part of the body wall. Both siphons have regularly spaced circular muscles in a sphincter. The longitudinal muscle fibres issued from the oral siphon do not extend beyond the level of the third row of stigmata on the left, but extend a little more posteriorly on the right. Transverse fibres cover the whole right body side and become thicker near the dorsal line. Sixty oral tentacles were counted on one specimen and 55 in the other (Fig. 14 C). The pre-pharyngeal band is slightly curved dorsally. The neural gland lies at some distance from the button-like c-shaped dorsal tubercle which opens anteriorly. The space between the pre-pharyngeal band and the branchial tissue is particularly narrow. The dorsal lamina is long with high ribs on the left side and numerous denticles on the edge (Fig. 14 D). It extends farther than the oesophagus entrance on the left and on the right side the transverse vessels end in papillae (Fig. 14 B). The branchial tissue is flat and lies beyond the gut loop (Fig. 14 B). The longitudinal vessels are entire, 36 on the left side and 44 on the right in the largest specimen, but 32 and 36 in the smaller. They bear round papillae. There are no intermediate papillae and no parastigmatic vessels (Fig. 14 D). Three to 4 stigmata occur in a mesh. The digestive tract occupies 2/3 of the left body side. The oesophagus is short; the stomach has only inconspicuous internal folds. The intestine is not inflated with a long closed primary loop and a deeply curved secondary bend (Fig. 14 A). The plain-edged anus opens posteriorly to the top of the primary gut loop. The testis lobes are scattered above the intestine and the ovary comprises several round joined lobes included inside the primary gut loop (Fig. 14 A). The large oviduct and the sperm duct accompany the rectum and both open against the anus. Many oocytes were found freely in the atrial cavity.
A. curvata is a common species of the western Atlantic recorded from Panama (Bonnet & Rocha 2011a), northern Brazil (Bonnet & Rocha 2011 b), the Caribbean area (Van Name 1902, 1945; Monniot C. 1983a) and Bermuda (Berrill 1932)

Numerous colonies with varied shapes, in cushions or sheets, were settled on all kinds of substrates, some on ascidians. The tunic is very soft, pale or greyish in formalin but of a bright pink in life. (Fig. 11 A).The surface tunic is easily torn and often in shreds. The zooids are arranged in stellate systems. The atrial languet is simple or with a dented tip above a wide open siphon. The 4 rows of stigmata are crossed by a parastigmatic vessel. The stomach is round with a smooth wall. A large oocyte is placed against a clump of testis vesicles inside the gut loop. One or 2 larvae are appended in a thoracic pouch. They are 1.2 mm in length with a tail in a half circle (Fig. 11 B).
This shallow species is widely distributed in Bermuda, Florida, Caribbean islands and Brazil (Rocha et al. 2005) and recently introduced in the Mediterranean (Mastrototaro and Brunetti 2006).

description: Plantain has been shown to possess biological nitrification inhibiting (BNI) activity, which can reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from ruminant urine patches. However, the effectiveness of plantain in mitigating these emissions remains unclear. In this study, the 15N flux method was employed to investigate the relationship between different plantain proportions in pasture sward and gaseous nitrogen (N) ((N2O and dinitrogen (N2)) loss following dairy cow urine deposition (660 kg N ha-1) on the Allophanic and Gley soils. The findings indicate that the presence of plantain reduced cumulative N2O emissions after urine deposition, but there was no direct correlation between the nominal sowing rate and its mitigation effectiveness. However, in the Allophanic soil, there was a reduction in cumulative N2O emissions with an increase in the proportion of plantain in the dry matter. The high soil moisture during the experimental period resulted in 48-60% of the applied N being lost through N2 emissions. Plantain presence increased total N2 emissions in both soil types, possibly due to its BNI function, which would retain mineral N in the soil for an extended period, providing substrate for complete denitrification. The increase in N2 production with plantain presence was more pronounced in the Allophanic soil than in the Gley soil, which could potentially be attributed to deeper root distribution in the Allophanic soil, which could have further influenced soil denitrification at greater soil depths. However, further information on plantain‘s effect on mineral N at greater depth is needed to better comprehending gaseous N emissions variations.* Title in Abstracts book: The effect of plantain in pasture swards on gaseous nitrogen emissions from urine patches

description: The use of different nitrogen (N) fertilisers affects nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions. To quantify effects of different N fertilisers on N₂O emissions and pasture yield, a one-year field experiment was carried out on a volcanic grassland soil. This study involved the split application of 200 kg N/ha using either urea (46%N) or calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN, 27%N), alone or in combination with dual N transformation inhibitors. The inhibitors used were the nitrification inhibitor Dicyandiamide (DCD), applied in autumn, and the urease inhibitor N-(n-Butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), applied in spring. A control treatment with no N fertiliser was also included. Nitrous oxide emissions were quantified using the static chamber technique (n=5). The emission factor (EF1) was calculated as the N₂O-N net losses relative to N from fertiliser (%). Measurements of N₂O were complemented with pasture yield determinations. Results were analysed using ANOVA (P≤0.05). Emissions of N₂O were low in the control (0.41±0.03 kg N-N₂O/ha) and increased 2.4 and 1.6 times following the application of urea and CAN, respectively (1.0±0.07 and 0.7±0.05 kg N₂O-N/ha for urea and CAN, respectively; P≤0.05). The use of inhibitors reduced N₂O emissions by 46% with the application of urea only (P≤0.05), resulting in a 64% reduction of EF1, from 0.28 to 0.10%. The EF1 was low with CAN (0.13%) and did not vary with inhibitors’ inclusion. Pasture yield increased by 38% with N application (P≤0.05), from 5.8±0.56 (control) to 8.3±0.28 and 7.9±0.40 t DM/ha for the urea and CAN treatments, respectively. The use of inhibitors did not further increase yield, independently of the N source (P>0.05). The use of CAN offers an opportunity to reduce N₂O emissions. The absence of yield benefits when using inhibitors in a combined strategy is a significant barrier for adoption of this mitigation option for pastoral systems.

description: Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained significant attention in thin-film photovoltaic research for their high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and facile fabrication processes. This study presents the use of inkjet printing to fabricate thin films of combinatorial mixed formamidinium tin-lead perovskites and evaluates their layer quality and device performance. Our findings demonstrate that incorporating Pb up to 50% into FASnI3 films enhances lattice stability. The investigation focused on optimizing the composition ratio for improved photovoltaic performance with FASn0.5Pb0.5I3-based PSCs achieving the highest PCE of 10.26%. Additionally, these cells exhibited an absorption spectrum extending beyond 1000 nm, corresponding to a 1.25 eV bandgap. The results suggest that inkjet printing can effectively enhance the efficiency of tin–lead-based PSCs, supporting scalability in device manufacturing.

description: Carbon materials derived from biomass offer promising prospects for energy storage due to their eco-friendly nature, abundance, and distinctive porous structures. In this study, starch powder was used to synthesise activated biocarbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Spherical carbon particles with an average diameter of 250 nm were obtained using hydrothermal synthesis followed by chemical activation with KOH solution. Physical properties were analysed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2 adsorption/desorption analysis. Optimally activated biocarbon was achieved at an activation temperature of 900°C, exhibiting a specific surface area of 2730 m2 g−1 and an average pore size of 2.69 nm. The mesoporous structure facilitated ion movement, even at a high scan rate. The resultant symmetric supercapacitor exhibited an energy density of 60.16 Wh kg−1 (@140 W kg−1) and a power density of 24,590 W kg−1 (@51.24 Wh kg−1), surpassing commercial activated carbon.

description: Piezoresistive sensor is applied extensively in rehabilitative monitoring, to help with patients’ physical and mental health recovery. However, the manufacturing complexity of hierarchical structure in sensing element remains a major limitation to piezoresistive sensor. Here, we report a scalable and simple method for the preparation of piezoresistive sensing element. Based on biocompatible poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL), uniaxial cold stretching resulted in a flexible sheet-like element with unique hierarchical geometries comprising highly aligned multiscale ridges on sheet’s double sides. This leads to higher mechanical elasticity of the hierarchitectured PCL element and enhanced resistance against plastic deformation due to the improved Young’s modulus. Further assembly of the piezoresistive sensor demonstrates a wide detection range of 25–4.7 × 104 Pa with rapid response and the high sensitivity of 1.37 kPa−1 at small pressure loadings. The sensor shows successful application in the monitoring physiological signals including pulse, speaking, face expression and limb motion.

Station. CP 4383.
Only one specimen 2 cm in length was collected at 83 m depth. The tunic is vitreous and totally transparent but solid. The body was erect above a sandy base. The long atrial siphon is apical with 6 very short lobes, it has no muscular sphincter but a few circular muscular fibres (Fig. 15 A,B) apparently representing an extension of the body musculature The oral siphon is short with an undulated rim. The body musculature is unique in this genus. In addition to the 5 strong transverse fibres issued from the dorsal side which encircle the atrial siphon and extend on the dorsal body side, few very thin fibres lie at the base of the oral aperture and two thick short ribbons are placed in the middle of each body side (Fig. 15 A,B). The dorsal tubercle opens anteriorly in a C. Thirty-two oral tentacles alternate in 2 sizes. The branchial sac is flat. Thirty longitudinal vessels were counted on each side. The stigmata are grouped 4 by 4, each with 2.5 not interrupted turns (Fig. 15 C). Twenty-two triangular rapheal languets become alternatively long and short near the oesophagus entrance. The gut forms a closed loop at the posterior part of the body prolonged along the dorsal line by a long rectum. The oesophagus is short giving into an olive-shaped stomach with 6 low folds on each side. The rectum ends at the base of the atrial siphon in a scalloped rim. The testis is ramified and spread over the whole intestinal loop mixed with the ovary.
All characters of this ascidian well correspond to those of Caribbean specimens collected several times by several authors (Monniot C. 1983a). More surprising are the records of this species in New Caledonia, Polynesia and Mozambique (Monniot C. 1997 and synonymy). The origin of this discrete but widely distributed species is unknown.

description: Using copper acetate (Cu₂(CH₃COO)₄) and thiourea (CH₄N₂S) as precursors, copper sulphide thin films were synthesized on glass substrates by the spin coating method followed by annealing in the nitrogen gas. X-Ray Diffraction patterns show that the as-deposited film is amorphous. Annealing at 350°C is observed to result in the conversion to the cubic chalcocite Cu2S phase, which is confirmed by the EDX spectrum. The analysis of the UV-vis spectra reveals a transmittance of around 65% for the as-deposited film, which increases to 85% by annealing. The optical band gap is found to decrease from 2.70 to 2.55 eV by annealing.

description: Derzeit beschäftigt sich die Gesellschaft, die Politik und die Industrie mit der allgegenwärtigen Fragestellung »Was soll mit den alten Batterien von Elektrofahrzeugen geschehen, wenn die Fahrzeuge nicht mehr zuverlässig genug sind, oder sie ihr Nutzungsende erreicht haben?« Dieser Fragestellung sind Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler des Fraunhofer LBF unter Leitung des Nachhaltigkeitsexperten Dr. Dominik Spancken und Dipl.-Ing. Eva Stelter nachgegangen, um die Thematik strukturiert zu untersuchen. Meist können ausgemusterte noch voll funktionstüchtige Batterien ein zweites Leben erhalten und zum Beispiel in stationären Energiespeichern genutzt werden. Somit blieben die ressourcenintensiven Batteriezellen nachhaltig und so lange wie möglich im Einsatz. Doch so einfach gestaltet sich die alternative Nutzung von Batterien meist doch nicht und wird durch gesellschaftliche, politische, wirtschaftliche und technische Herausforderungen stark beeinflusst. Um einen erfolgreichen nachhaltigen Transformationsprozess zu ermöglichen, müssen alle Aspekte sorgfältig analysiert und berücksichtigt werden, um eine nachhaltige und wirtschaftliche Lösung zu finden, die dem Allgemeinwohl dient. Wie dies gelingen kann, lesen Sie in dieser Studie.

description: Amidst the excitement of groundbreaking discoveries, it becomes imperative to address the fundamental question: “what does it mean to detect something in an exoplanet atmosphere?” Recent results from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have underscored the challenge of separating real atmospheric constituents from noise-induced and unknown astrophysical artifacts. By exploring different noise regimes, we statistically interrogated the frequency and characteristics of low-sigma, false-positive detections. Using the sub-Neptune exoplanet K2-18b as a case study, we assessed discrepancies between Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and JWST observations, with a specific focus on water and methane abundances. This research will aid in the establishment of a standardized approach for evaluating the reliability of reported detections, thus enhancing the reproducibility and integrity of exoplanet atmospheric studies, and providing direct applications to the field of astrobiology.

One colony incrusting a mass of barnacles contains a dozen of zooids at different stages of development. The surface tunic is thick, wrinkled and brown in formalin. The basal layer is colourless and transparent. The zooids are dorso-ventrally flattened with the body not strongly adhering to the tunic except at the level of the siphons and at the gonads. The polycarps are located in a peduncle of the body wall which penetrates into the basal tunic. The distinctive anatomical characters of this common species are the 4 branchial folds/side and one longitudinal vessel in the spaces between them, the long stomach with a dozen folds and a small caecum, a smooth edged anus, numerous endocarps, and a few polycarps on each side made of a globular ovary and a testis in 2 elongated vesicles.
Often recorded, E. tincta described from Bermuda has been collected in several parts of the Caribbean area and along the Brazilian coast (Rocha & Costa 2005 and synonymy).
