description: Background: Our aim was to study the effects of visual feedback cues, responding dynamically to patient's self‐motion and provided through a portable see‐through virtual reality apparatus, on the walking abilities of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Methods: Twenty patients participated. On‐line and residual effects on walking speed and stride length were measured. Results Attaching the visual feedback device to the patient with the display turned off showed a negligible effect of about 2%. With the display turned on, 56% of the patients improved either their walking speed, or their stride length, or both, by over 20%. After device removal, and waiting for 15 minutes, the patients were instructed to walk again: 68% of the patients showed over 20% improvement in either walking speed or stride length or both. One week after participating in the first test, 36% of the patients showed over 20% improvement in baseline performance with respect to the previous test. Some of the patients reported that they still walked on the tiles in their minds.

Discussion: Improvements in walking abilities were measured in patients with Parkinson's disease using virtual reality visual feedback cues. Residual effects suggest the examination of this approach in a comprehensive therapy program.

description: Online platforms facilitate the formation of micro-communities on the Internet by enabling exchange between locally dispersed individuals. Since all interactions are mediated through the online platform, user representation plays a critical role for such communities. Grounded in Social Exchange Theory, we report results of a behavioral experiment on the role of user profile photos and avatars for the emergence of network structures over time. While overall network value increases slightly, the underlying structures of exchange shift systematically from many weak ties to fewer but significantly stronger reciprocal exchange relations. Interestingly, despite representing users in a highly abstracted way, avatars yield outcomes comparable to those when using actual photographs. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of how online platforms can leverage social cues such as profile photos and avatars to manage and support micro-communities.

description: The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is a non-linear wave equation that has played a fundamental role in diverse branches of mathematical and theoretical physics. In the present paper, we consider its significance to cosmology. It is found that the KdV equation arises in a number of important scenarios, including inflationary cosmology, the cyclic universe, loop quantum cosmology and braneworld models. Analogies can be drawn between cosmic dynamics and the propagation of the solitonic wave solution to the equation, whereby quantities such as the speed and amplitude profile of the wave can be identified with cosmological parameters such as the spectral index of the density perturbation spectrum and the energy density of the universe. The unique mathematical properties of the Schwarzian derivative operator are important to the analysis. A connection with dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates is briefly discussed.

Psychogenic Tremor: A Video Guide to Its Distinguishing Features

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Neurosciences
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Background: Psychogenic tremor is the most common psychogenic movement disorder. It has characteristic clinical features that can help distinguish it from other tremor disorders. There is no diagnostic gold standard and the diagnosis is based primarily on clinical history and examination. Despite proposed diagnostic criteria, the diagnosis of psychogenic tremor can be challenging. While there are numerous studies evaluating psychogenic tremor in the literature, there are no publications that provide a video/visual guide that demonstrate the clinical characteristics of psychogenic tremor. Educating clinicians about psychogenic tremor will hopefully lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: We selected videos from the database at the Parkinson's Disease Center and Movement Disorders Clinic at Baylor College of Medicine that illustrate classic findings supporting the diagnosis of psychogenic tremor.

Results: We include 10 clinical vignettes with accompanying videos that highlight characteristic clinical signs of psychogenic tremor including distractibility, variability, entrainability, suggestibility, and coherence.

Discussion: Psychogenic tremor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with tremor, particularly if it is of abrupt onset, intermittent, variable and not congruous with organic tremor. The diagnosis of psychogenic tremor, however, should not be simply based on exclusion of organic tremor, such as essential, parkinsonian, or cerebellar tremor, but on positive criteria demonstrating characteristic features. Early recognition and management are critical for good long-term outcome.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Many Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, populations are decreasing throughout its distributional range due to several factors acting in concert. A number of studies have documented the influence of freshwater and ocean conditions, climate variability and “man-made obstacles” including dams and aquaculture. However, most of the historical research has focused on single or few river analyses, and quantifying isolated effects rather than handling factors in conjunction. By using a multi-river mixed-effects model we estimated impacts of oceanic and riverine conditions, as well as human threats on both year-to-year and within river variability across 60 time series of recreational catch of one-sea-winter salmon (grilse) from Norwegian rivers over 29 years (1979−2007). Warm coastal temperatures at the time of smolt entrance into the sea and increased water discharge during upstream migration were associated with higher rod catches of grilse. When hydropower stations are present in the course of the river systems the strength of the relationship with runoff is reduced. Moreover, catches of grilse in the river increased significantly following the discontinuation of the harvesting of this lifestage at sea. However, a general decreasing temporal trend was still detected being stronger with the presence of salmon farms in the migration route of smolts in coastal/fjord areas. These results suggest that both ocean and freshwater conditions in conjunction with diverse human impacts contribute to shape interannual fluctuations and within river variability of wild Atlantic salmon.

description: We study the distribution of the maximal height of the outermost path in the model of $N$ nonintersecting Brownian motions on the half-line as $N\to \infty$, showing that it converges in the proper scaling to the Tracy-Widom distribution for the largest eigenvalue of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble. This is as expected from the viewpoint that the maximal height of the outermost path converges to the maximum of the $\textrm{Airy}_2$ process minus a parabola. Our proof is based on Riemann-Hilbert analysis of a system of discrete orthogonal polynomials with a Gaussian weight in the double scaling limit as this system approaches saturation. We consequently compute the asymptotics of the free energy and the reproducing kernel of the corresponding discrete orthogonal polynomial ensemble in the critical scaling in which the density of particles approaches saturation. Both of these results can be viewed as dual to the case in which the mean density of eigenvalues in a random matrix model is vanishing at one point.
description: 39 pages, 4 figures; The title has been changed from "The limiting distribution of the maximal height of nonintersecting Brownian excursions and discrete Gaussian orthogonal polynomials." This is a reflection of the fact that the analysis has been adapted to include nonintersecting Brownian motions with either reflecting of absorbing boundaries at zero. To appear in J. Stat. Phys

description: We develop a multi-scale high fidelity biomechanical and physiologically-based modeling tools for trauma (ballistic/impact and blast) injury to brain, lung and spinal cord for resuscitation, treatment planning and design of personnel protection. Several approaches have been used to study blast and ballistic/impact injuries. Dummy containing pressure sensors and synthetic phantoms of human organs have been used to study bomb blast and car crashes. Large animals like pigs also have been equipped with pressure sensors exposed to blast waves. But these methods do not anatomically and physiologically biofidelic to humans, do not provide full optimization of body protection design and require animal sacrifice. Anatomy and medical image based high-fidelity computational modeling can be used to analyze injury mechanisms and to optimize the design of body protection. This paper presents novel approach of coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational structures dynamics (CSD) to simulate fluid (air, cerebrospinal fluid) solid (cranium, brain tissue) interaction during ballistic/blast impact. We propose a trauma injury simulation pipeline concept staring from anatomy and medical image based high fidelity 3D geometric modeling, extraction of tissue morphology, generation of computational grids, multiscale biomechanical and physiological simulations, and data visualization.

description: Renormalization Group domain walls are natural conformal interfaces between two CFTs related by an RG flow. The RG domain wall gives an exact relation between the operators in the UV and IR CFTs. We propose an explicit algebraic construction of the RG domain wall between consecutive Virasoro minimal models in two dimensions. Our proposal passes a stringent test: it reproduces in detail the leading order mixing of UV operators computed in the conformal perturbation theory literature. The algebraic construction can be applied to a variety of known RG flows in two dimensions.

description: We present an exactly solvable model of a scalar field in an AdS$_{d+1}$ like background interpolating between a $Z_2$ preserving and a $Z_2$ breaking minima of the potential. We define its holographic dual through the AdS/CFT dictionary and argue that at zero temperature the $d-$dimensional strongly coupled system on the boundary of AdS$_{d+1}$ exhibits a phase with a spontaneously broken discrete symmetry. In the presence of a black hole in the bulk ($T\neq 0$) we find that, although the metastable phase is present, the discrete symmetry gets restored. We compute exactly the lowest order boundary correlation functions in the spontaneously broken phase at T=0, finding out a pole of the propagator for zero momenta that signals the presence of a massless mode.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Analysis of data from acoustic trawl surveys of Sebastes mentella in the Irminger Sea pelagial suggests that extension of redfish distribution to the southwest observed since the mid-1990s was caused by migration of some aggregations from the traditional feeding areas due to an increased advection of Atlantic waters by the Irminger current and higher temperatures of the surface layer (TSL). However, the use solely of the data from surveys conducted every other year limits the possibility to study the impact of variations in oceanographic conditions on distribution, aggregation structure and fishery pattern of redfish in the long term, although such information is essential for the development of sustainable harvesting strategies for fish resources. Data on monthly mean TSL fields at the regular grid nodes for 1982-2008 were used as additional oceanographic indices. To identify and forecast TSL data, the aliquant frequency method was used. Besides, the calculations used air temperature data for 1949-2008 to derive the trend component which was applied to fill in the gaps in the basic TSL data and make a projection. Interannual spatial bathymetric variability in some population parameters of redfish in the Irminger and Labrador Sea was analysed. СPUE for the northeastern and southwestern fishing area was calculated. A statistically significant correlation between CPUE and TSL was revealed, which suggests that CPUE indices directly depend on primary production conditions during spring. CPUE forecasted for 2009-2010 shows a decreasing trend in the Labrador Sea. A strong impact of oceanographic conditions on different fishery patterns for redfish was demonstrated. It was concluded that the proposed division into the northeastern and southwestern fishing areas, as well as the use of two units in the management of the redfish stock in the pelagial of the Irminger Sea and adjacent waters are not efficient and lack scientific substantiation.

Especially we clarify the gravitational couplings to the bulk matters at linear order in the gravitational superfields. They consist of four N=1 superfields, two of which are Z_2-odd when the fifth dimension is compactified on S^1/Z_2. This formulation provides a powerful tool to calculate quantum effects, keeping the N=1 off-shell structure.

description: During college summer vacations I cleaned boiler and did electrical work. In secondary school I took wood shop and electric shop. My father was an electrician and when he did odd jobs I went with him and handed him tools and spliced wires, etc. In primary school I took cooking lessons via a TV program. In all of these settings the way we talked about tools and kitchen utensils was totally different from the way I saw teachers introduce tools and kitchen utensils and also the way textbooks introduced these items. So in 1980, I wrote an article and submitted it to The TESOL Quarterly an article contrasting the way we talk about tools and kitchen utensils as we use them and the way teachers and textbooks presented them. In the title, It’s too damn tight, as well as in the article I use words that are taboo in all ESOL textbooks around the world. Why these words are taboo continues to baffle me! In the present age of the internet we can access all sorts of words that are still taboo in textbooks! When I worked with English teachers in Somalia the textbooks prescribed that teachers should teach parts of the body such as head, mouth, arm, etc. But the students were interested in the words for private parts of the body, not public parts. So many teachers supplemented head, mouth, etc. with the words students were keen to master.

description: Vesicles have recently found widespread use in applications such as conditioning of textiles, paper and hair, as well as transdermal drug delivery. The mode of treatment in several such cases involves the application of droplets of aqueous dispersions of vesicles onto dry porous substrates like paper and textiles. One of the factors which affects the performance of such treatments is the rate at which the droplets spread and imbibe on the porous substrate. Depending upon the specific purpose of the treatment either a fast or slow droplet spreading kinetics could be desired. Therefore, it is important to have a good understanding of the droplet spreading process and the factors which influence it. In this work, an experimental investigation of the simultaneous spreading and imbibition of vesicle dispersion droplets on cellulose filter papers is carried out. Two different types of vesicles which are composed of similar lipid molecules but exhibit contrasting lipid bilayer phase behavior are used. Two different grades of filter papers with comparable porosities but different thicknesses are used as porous substrate. It is found that the droplet spreading behavior is of the “complete wetting” type on the thicker porous substrate, whereas it is of the “partial wetting” type on the thinner substrate. Furthermore, it is observed that the spreading of droplets containing vesicles with liquid-crystalline phase bilayers occurs faster than that of vesicles with solid-gel phase bilayers. The secondary radial penetration which commences after the initial droplet spreading is complete is also investigated and discussed.

Case report: A 62-year-old woman consulted with 30 years of unusual involuntary twitches in preauricular region and spasms that hamper jaw opening.  During the spasms she cannot open her mouth for several seconds. At physical examination we observed hypertrophy of the masseter and temporalis muscles, shared features with Hemimasticatory Spasm. She was treated with botulinum toxin type A with excellent response.

Discussion: Hemimasticatory Spasm is a rare movement disorder, but given the excellent response to botulinum toxin type A treatment, it should be considered in the spectrum of facial spasms.

description: Background: Hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) is a rare phenomenon, probably related to transsynaptic degeneration of the inferior olivary nucleus. It usually occurs as a response to primary injury of dento-rubro-olivary pathways.

Case report: A young man developed Holmes' tremor 7 months after a cavernous malformation bleed in the midbrain. Typical findings of HOD were observed in the magnetic resonance images: bilateral and asymmetric hypertrophy of the olivary nucleus with slight hypersignal in T2-weighted images. Because of the striking disability related to drug-resistant tremor, the patient underwent stereotactic thalamotomy (nucleus ventralis intermedius of the thalamus/zona incerta) with pronounced functional improvement over time.

Discussion: Disruption of circuits in the Guillain–Mollaret triangle classically results in palatal myoclonus, however midbrain (Holmes') tremor can also occur, as we now describe.

Defining characteristics of the brass music of Anthony Plog and their application in performance
Creators: name: Cannon, Alexander Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation examines the defining characteristics in Anthony Plog’s brass music. Plog’s treatment of motive, delivery of musical expectation, and timbre creates music that is idiomatic for brass performers. While the information herein is intended to be informative for all brass musicians, Plog’s writing for the trumpet is particularly examined to illuminate the technical and artistic demands on trumpet players. Lauding the composer’s techniques, the dissertation may also be useful for composers interested in effective writing for brass musicians, especially in a chamber music setting. Myriad examples from Mr. Plog’s brass chamber repertoire demonstrate why his techniques yield outstanding compositions for brass. The cited works are Concerto No. 1 for Trumpet and Brass Ensemble (1988) for soloist and 16-member ensemble, Four Sketches (1990) for brass quintet, Postcards (1994) for solo trumpet, and Trio for Brass (1996) for flugelhorn, horn, and trombone. Commentary by Mr. Plog and noted trumpet performers of his works Nick Norton, Gabriele Cassone, Allan Dean, and David Hickman contribute to the understanding of the composer’s defining characteristics. With a refreshing approach to new music for brass, composer Tony Plog’s brass compositions are frequently programmed and have become staple works in the brass repertoire. Emphasizing the effectiveness of his approach to brass composition, it is the hope that this dissertation proves useful in preparing both extant and future brass works by Anthony Plog.

Its typical features are seizures, faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS), cognitive impairment, and personality changes. Case report: We report the case of a 66-year-old man with an unusual presentation, consisting of two types of FBDS, one starting in the foot and the other consisting of asynchronous myoclonic and dystonic jerks of the face triggered by noise and chin stimulation. The patient displayed no personality changes or cognitive impairment. Discussion: LGI1 encephalitis is a heterogeneous disease. Many different forms of FBDS may be observed, and these seizures can be the only symptom. This type of encephalitis should be suspected in presenting very frequent episodic events with dystonic features, regardless of the part of the body affected.

description: Los odonatos presentan una gran diversidad etológica en cuanto a su reproducción. Esta actividad es tan importante que determina la manifestación de su territorialidad. Dentro de su comportamiento territorial se han descubierto varias estrategias desarrolladas por ciertas especies de libélulas, sin embargo; la información obtenida sobre especies neotropicales es escasa. Con el propósito de conocer estos aspectos en una especie amazónica, Nephepeltia sp., esta investigación analizó el comportamiento de una población ubicada en las orillas de la Cocha Cashu dentro del Parque Nacional del Manu, Madre de Dios, Perú. Desde el 21 de Octubre al 19 Noviembre del 2017 (inicios de la época húmeda) se marcaron, liberaron y observaron individuos. No se marcaron libélulas hembras por su reducido número. De las libélulas machos halladas se identificaron en total 117 individuos. Se registró el comportamiento durante la interacción con otros machos y ocasionalmente el comportamiento reproductivo de 18 de las libélulas identificadas. Se obtuvo que: 13 fueron hallados por segunda vez a menos de 15 m. del punto del primer avistamiento, 15 de los individuos analizados se mantuvieron en un área menor a 0.8 cm 2 por más de 45 minutos, 10 de ellos compartían la mencionada área con otros individuos y 17 de los 18 individuos demostraron agresividad frente al acercamiento de un individuo intruso a 50 cm de su sitio de percha. La agresividad frente a intrusos y compartir el territorio con otros individuos no es un comportamiento nuevo en libélulas. Relacionado generalmente a las altas densidades de machos, esta estrategia se entiende en el contexto del costo y beneficio de los enfrentamientos. Además, en este caso la competencia entre machos se acentúa por la baja cantidad de hembras. En conclusión, la población estudiada de Nephepeltia sp. presenta co-ocupación del territorio con una aparente distinción

entre macho dominante y subordinados.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Iberian sardine (Sardina pilchardus) is distributed along the whole shelf of the Iberian Peninsula with the highest catches being taken from southern Galician waters and northern Portugal. The fishery is dependent on the strength of the recruitment in this area and recruitment processes seem to be driven by a combination of oceanographic (local) and climatic (global) events. In an exploratory analysis we examined whether the variability observed in landings from ICES areas VIIIc (northern) and IXa (western Iberia) from 1940 to 2005, and in estimated annual recruitment and spawning stock size for the whole stock could be related to environmental conditions at large and local scales, taking into account temporal autocorrelation in the response variables. Landings for areas VIIIc and IXa show differing trends and were most strongly related, respectively, to the multi-decadal Atlantic oscillation (AMO) and to SST (with an optimum around 15o C). Recruitment was negatively related to air temperature (AT). We stress the need for taking into account time lagged effects, non linear relationships, autocorrelation in response variables and collinearity between explanatory variables. We discuss possible mechanisms underlying these observed patterns and whether the apparent climatic relationships have any predictive value.

description: Background: Peripherally induced movement disorders (PIMDs) represent a rare and debated complication of peripheral trauma. Phenomenology Shown: We report a case of task-specific “lipstick” jerky dystonic tremor as a consequence of traumatic shoulder injury, successfully treated with EMG-guided botulinum toxin injections. Educational Value: This case expands the phenotypic spectrum of PIMDs, with a visual example of a task-specific dystonic tremor after peripheral trauma, and the efficacy of EMG-guided botulinum toxin treatment in the setting of posttraumatic dystonic tremor.
The Color Dipole Picture of low-x DIS: Model-Independent and Model-Dependent Results

description: We present a detailed examination of the color-dipole picture (CDP) of low-$x$ deep inelastic scattering. We discriminate model-independent results, not depending on a specific parameterization of the dipole cross section, from model-dependent ones. The model-independent results include the ratio of the longitudinal to the transverse photoabsorption cross section at large $Q^2$, or equivalently the ratio of the longitudinal to the unpolarized proton structure function, $F_L (x,Q^2)=0.27 F_2 (x, Q^2)$, as well as the low-$x$ scaling behavior of the total photoabsorption cross section $σ_{γ^*p} (W^2, Q^2)=σ_{γ^*p} (η(W^2, Q^2))$ as $\log (1 / η(W^2, Q^2))$ for $η(W^2, Q^2) <1$, and as $1/η(W^2, Q^2)$ for $η(W^2, Q^2) \gg 1$. Here, $η(W^2, Q^2)$ denotes the low-$x$ scaling variable, $η(W^2, Q^2)=(Q^2 + m^2_0) / Λ^2_{sat} (W^2)$ with $Λ^2_{sat} (W^2)$ being the saturation scale. The model-independent analysis also implies $\lim\limits_{W^2\rightarrow\infty, Q^2 {\rm fixed}} σ_{γ^*p} (W^2, Q^2) / σ_{γp} (W^2) \rightarrow 1$ at any $Q^2$ for asymptotically large energy, $W$. Consistency with pQCD evolution determines the underlying gluon distribution and the numerical value of $C_2 = 0.29$ in the expression for the saturation scale, $Λ^2 (W^2) \sim (W^2)^{C_2}$. In the model-dependent analysis, by restricting the mass of the actively contributing $q \bar q$ fluctuations by an energy-dependent upper bound, we extend the validity of the color-dipole picture to $x \cong Q^2 / W^2 \le 0.1$. The theoretical results agree with the world data on DIS for $0.036 {\rm GeV}^2 \le Q^2 \le 316 {\rm GeV}^2$.

description: In this talk, I introduce my recently re-opened research project about language, literacy and scholarship amongst the Jula community of the former Kong Empire in southwestern Burkina Faso and northeastern Côte d’Ivoire. I begin by presenting my foray into the topic via Ajami literacy practices that I stumbled upon when visiting my former Peace Corps village in 2012. Following some contextual and theoretical preliminaries regarding the Kong Jula network, linguistic registers and the Islamic healing tradition, I introduce my library- and field-based investigations conducted since arriving in Hamburg in 2018. Next, I discuss specific preliminary insights and holes of knowledge regarding 1) the history of the Kong network and its clerical tradition; 2) the current state of Jula Islamic scholarship au sense large (viz. schools, scribes and healing practices); 3) distinct Jula registers tied variously to Islam, Kong, Christianity, and changing ethnic relations in southwestern Burkina Faso. I conclude with potential paths for future research down the road.

Philodendron pseudauriculatum

description: Philodendron pseudauriculatum Croat Material examined. Vicinity of base camp on W side of Cerro Pirre; 08°00′N, 077°48′W; 50 m; 30 Jun. 1988; T. B. Croat 68962 (MO). Cerro Pirre, vicinity of station along Río Perisenico; 08°01′N, 077°44′W; 110 m; 26 Jul. 1994; T. B. Croat 77094 (MO). Ibid., Rancho Frío; 08°01′14″N, 077°43′41″W; 143 m; 13 Apr. 2016; O. O. Ortiz 2560 (PMA). Identification. This species is recognized by its nomadic vine life form (sometimes terrestrial as rosettes), short internodes, subteretes spongy petioles, oblong-elliptic to oblanceolate-elliptic blades, greenish-gray when dry, rounded at the base, inflorescences two to three per node and white to pinkish spathes. Due to the blade shape, P. pseudauriculatum can be confused with P. ligulatum var. heraclioanum Croat, which differs in having D-shaped petioles in cross section with erect-undulate margins and blackish (when dry) and typically purplespoted blades (when fresh). Distribution and ecology. Colombia and Panama. This species typically has a nomadic vine life form, but occasionally it may have a terrestrial life form as rosettes, mainly in sites with rocky and dry soils. In the study site, Philodendron pseudauriculatum generally grows in the semideciduous lowland forests, between 50 and 110 m.

Current Gaps in the Understanding of the Subcellular Distribution of Exogenous and Endogenous Protein TorsinA
Creators: name: Harata, N. Charles
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Neurosciences
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Background: An in‐frame deletion leading to the loss of a single glutamic acid residue in the protein torsinA (ΔE‐torsinA) results in an inherited movement disorder, DYT1 dystonia. This autosomal dominant disease affects the function of the brain without causing neurodegeneration, by a mechanism that remains unknown.

Methods: We evaluated the literature regarding the subcellular localization of torsinA.

Results: Efforts to elucidate the pathophysiological basis of DYT1 dystonia have relied partly on examining the subcellular distribution of the wild‐type and mutated proteins. A typical approach is to introduce the human torsinA gene (TOR1A) into host cells and overexpress the protein therein. In both neurons and non‐neuronal cells, exogenous wild‐type torsinA introduced in this manner has been found to localize mainly to the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas exogenous ΔE‐torsinA is predominantly in the nuclear envelope or cytoplasmic inclusions. Although these outcomes are relatively consistent, findings for the localization of endogenous torsinA have been variable, leaving its physiological distribution a matter of debate.

Discussion: As patients’ cells do not overexpress torsinA proteins, it is important to understand why the reported distributions of the endogenous proteins are inconsistent. We propose that careful optimization of experimental methods will be critical in addressing the causes of the differences among the distributions of endogenous (non‐overexpressed) vs. exogenously introduced (overexpressed) proteins.

Vicinity Cerro Pirre, 17 km N of El Real, along trail from base camp, along Río Perisenico; 08°01′N, 077°44′W; 100 m; 28 Jul. 1994; T. B. Croat 77175 A (MO). Parque Nacional Darién, Serranía de Pirre, Rancho Plástico; 07°59′13″N, 077°42′28″W; 1127 m; 30 Jul. 2016; O. O. Ortiz 2650 (PMA). Ibid.; 07°58′54″N, 077°42′30″W; 1128 m; 31 Jul. 2016; O. O. Ortiz 2659 (PMA). Identification. This species is characterized by its nomadic vine life form (rigidly-scandent habit), petioles almost completely sheathed, non-cordate narrow blades with numerous primary lateral veins (nine to 16 per side). In the study area, this species is very similar to P. inaequilaterum Liebm. due to the blade shape (see distinctive aspects in the notes for the latter species). Distribution and ecology. Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama. On Cerro Pirre, this species has been reported in semideciduous lowland and montane cloud forests.
