description: SUBGENUS PLATYMANTIS GÜNTHER, 1858
 Diagnosis
 The subgenus Platymantis (currently a single recognized species, Pl. corrugatus) differs from other species of Platymantis by having (1) elongate longitudinal dermal ridges along the dorsal body surfaces (vs. dorsum smooth or tuberculate); (2) distinctive ‘quaaack’ advertisement calls (vs. frequency sweeps, pure tones, or complex calls); and (3) distinctive dark lateral head coloration (of varying shades; vs. lateral head pigment undifferentiated from surrounding coloration). The diagnostic dark lateral head coloration forms a dark ‘facemask’ that we consider a synapomorphy of this clade. Additionally, members of this subgenus can be diagnosed from species of arboreal variable Philippine forest frogs of the genera Lahatnanguri (Platymantis banahao, Pl. cornutus, and Pl. insulatus), and all members of the subgenera Tahananpuno and Tirahanulap, by the absence of expanded digital tips of fingers and toes (vs. presence of some degree of terminal digital expansion of fingers and toes), and by having a terrestrial microhabitat preference (normally calling beneath leaf litter) and a crepuscular (vs. nocturnal) calling activity pattern (Table 3).
 Content
 The allopatric populations of (1) the Luzon and West Visayan faunal regions, (2) the Camiguin Norte lineage, (3) the populations from the Mindanao faunal region islands, and (4) the Mindoro Island populations, all currently referred to Pl. corrugatus (Table 3). The subgenus Platymantis is equivalent in content to the unranked taxon Tagomukhus.
 Conversion of the name Platymantis would result in two different clades, ranked as genus and subgenus, with the same name, Platymantis. Therefore we define a NCN, denoting the same clade as subgenus Platymantis.

description: This paper describes two approaches for fault detection: an immune-based mechanism and a formal language algorithm. The first one is based on the feature of immune systems in distinguish any foreign cell from the body own cell. The formal language approach assumes the system as a linguistic source capable of generating a certain language, characterised by a grammar. Each algorithm has particular characteristics, which are analysed in the paper, namely in what cases they can be used with advantage. To test their practicality, both approaches were applied on the problem of fault detection in an induction motor.

Agrarian Reform, Oil Expropriation, and the Making of National Property in Postrevolutionary Mexico
Creators: del Palacio Langer, Ana Julia
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: History

description: This dissertation explores the property regimes of postrevolutionary Mexico through a multi-layered analysis of struggles over territory in the oil-producing areas of the state of Veracruz. I analyze land petitions made by oil workers to establish the relationship between the 1930s agrarian reform program and the nationalization of the oil industry of 1938 in the context of a general re-definition of citizens’ property rights after the revolution of 1910-1920. These events were essential in the construction of a revolutionary nationalism in Mexico. Arguably, in fact, Mexican nationalism has been built over specific legal and cultural notions of what constitutes the patrimony of the nation and citizens’ right to participate in the national project by obtaining a piece of that patrimony, even if it is by force. I contend that the same laws that allowed the governments of the postrevolution to enforce the agrarian reform and to nationalize the oil industry, also gave them the power to organize, regulate, and limit land possession among regular folk with the goal of de-radicalizing dissident groups after the armed struggle.
      Throughout the five chapters of this dissertation, I provide examples of individuals and communities that consistently competed for land and territory with foreign oil companies first and with Mexican Petroleum after the oil nationalization of 1938. These examples show the ways in which postrevolutionary leaders’ constant debates about property were understood and experienced on the ground. These instances also show how people living in or near the oil fields of Mexico fought for their property rights in part by engaging in these discussions—through letters and petitions—and in part by acting for or against the laws that since the enactment of the Constitution of 1917 regulated citizens’ access to property. Actions included land invasions, the breaking of fences and other enclosures, and the organization of cooperatives and other coalitions to petition land or to occupy territory. These debates over property reveal the collision between the “ideal types” of social organization, political action, and property holding advanced by the postrevolutionary regime and the reality that citizens experienced every day.

description: We used two a priori diet scores [Mediterranean diet (aMed) and Diet Balance Index (DBI)] and two a posteriori approaches [principal components analysis (PCA) and reduced-rank regression (RRR)] to examine the association of maternal dietary patterns with risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and blood glucose among 2202 pregnant women in the Tongji Birth Cohort. Compared to the highest quartile of the aMed and legumes-vegetables-fruits (derived by PCA) scores, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were higher in the lower quartiles (p-trend < 0.05). Lower scores of the meats-eggs-dairy (derived by PCA) and eggs-fish patterns (derived by RRR; characterised by higher intakes of freshwater fish, eggs, and lower intakes of leafy and cruciferous vegetables and fruits) were associated with decreased FBG levels (p-trend < 0.05). Similarities were found across approaches that some dietary patterns were associated with FBG, but not with postprandial glucose and GDM risk.

description: Migration is a complex experience that brings many challenges. This research explores how the mourning of the past and the deep emotion caused by migration are amplified and impacted by a history of enduring exposure to violence. It focuses on South African migrants and the lure of safety abroad to escape direct or vicarious encounters with violence. As a practice-led project, these ideas have been investigated through sculpture, installation, and multimedia approaches. This research argues that memories remain connected, sometimes only faintly, but motioning closer when remembered. In response to migrated memories, this research identifies that the emotional burden of migration is intensified due to the lasting mark violence leaves on memory, with the lingering threat not forgotten. This research contributes a new approach to memory as an attenuated connection and interprets the entanglement of migration and violence. A restrained visual language is used to engage with individual memories and to render a common space in which the collective memories of South African migrants may be considered.

description: The increasing interest and recent developments in nanotechnology pose previously unparalleled challenges in understanding the effects of nanoparticles on living tissues. Despite significant progress in in vitro cell and tissue culture technologies, observations on particle distribution and tissue responses in whole organisms are still indispensable. In addition to a thorough understanding of complex tissue responses which is the domain of expert pathologists, the localization of particles at their sites of interaction with living structures is essential to complete the picture. In this review we will describe and compare different imaging techniques for localizing inorganic as well as organic nanoparticles in tissues, cells and subcellular compartments. The visualization techniques include well- established methods, such as standard light, fluorescence, transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy as well as more recent developments, such as light and electron microscopic autoradiography, fluorescence lifetime imaging, spectral imaging and linear unmixing, superresolution structured illumination, Raman microspectroscopy and X-ray microscopy. Importantly, all methodologies described allow for the simultaneous visualization of nanoparticles and evaluation of cell and tissue changes that are of prime interest for toxicopathologic studies. However, the different approaches vary in terms of applicability for specific particles, sensitivity, optical resolution, technical requirements and thus availability, and effects of labeling on particle properties. Specific bottle necks of each technology are discussed in detail. Interpretation of particle localization data from any of these techniques should therefore respect their specific merits and limitations as no single approach combines all desired properties.

description: Asylum seekers are at the forefront of policy debate in the developed world and are likely to remain so. This book provides a concise narrative and fresh analysis of the number and composition of asylum seekers, the political and social reaction to them, and the evolution of policy in the OECD. The historical development of international asylum policies is traced from the 1951 Refugee Convention right up to the present. The author investigates forces determining the number of asylum applicants, including war and terror in poor source countries, and evaluates the effects of the increasingly restrictive deterrence policies used by the developed world. The book explains how public opinion and politics have led to a backlash against asylum seekers, and studies the effects on those who are admitted as refugees as well as those who are rejected. The key findings are that tougher policies do reduce the number of applicants, and that the choice of asylum policy is constrained by popular opinion as well as by trends in national politics. With these realities in mind, the author examines feasible policy options. Highlighting European policy, he argues that a more integrated EU-wide strategy would better serve the interests both of its citizens and of refugees.

description: A new furanone derivative, butanolide A (1), and a new sesquiterpene, guignarderemophilane F (2), together with six known compounds, were isolated from the fungus Penicillium sp. S-1-18 derived from Antarctic marine. The new structures were determined by spectroscopic studies such as 1D- and 2D-NMR and MS analyses. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined by the modified Mosher’s method, while the absolute configuration of 2 was determined by calculated ECD spectroscopy. The isolated secondary metabolites were evaluated for their protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity. Compound 1 showed moderate inhibitory activity against PTP1B with IC50 value of 27.4 μM.

description: Air pollution is one of the leading environmental problems of the 21st century, and the rise of global urbanization has increasingly exacerbated air pollution’s public health impact. Existing epidemiologic studies have tackled the relationship between air pollution and health from a variety of perspectives, but many areas of research remain lacking, including studies originating from developing countries, the assessment of exposure windows and sensitivity of modeling choices, and a better understanding of the climate change impacts on air pollution and health. In this dissertation, I address all of the issues mentioned above. Chapter 1 formally introduces the topics of this dissertation and summarizes background information on several major air pollutants. It then provides an overview of existing research on air pollution epidemiology and describes key knowledge gaps. In Chapter 2, we conduct a systematic review of the scientific literature for data on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in China, where historical PM2.5 data are not widely available prior to 2013. Using the 574 PM2.5 measurements we identified from the literature, we detected differences in PM2.5 levels across both geographic and economic regions of China. In Chapter 3, we investigate the associations between short- and intermediate-term exposure of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and mortality in 42 counties in China from 2013 to 2015, and find evidence of significant associations up to seven days prior to exposure. In Chapter 4, we investigate the association between PM2.5 and hospitalizations in New York State using five separate exposure datasets from 2002 to 2012. We find that despite some fluctuations in effect estimates, the majority of models yielded consistently significantly harmful associations. In Chapter 5, we utilize a global chemistry-climate model to project ozone levels in 2050 under a variety of emissions scenarios and quantify the mortality impact associated with changes in ozone concentrations between 2015 and 2050 according to each scenario. We find that under climate change alone and adherence to current legislation, ozone-related deaths would increase. However, under a best-case scenario of maximum technologically feasible reductions in emissions, over 300,000 premature deaths related to ozone can be avoided. Finally, Chapter 6 summarizes the findings of this dissertation and discusses potential directions in future research. While much work remains to be done, this dissertation work takes an important step forward in closing existing knowledge gaps in the field of air pollution epidemiology. More importantly, we hope that our work sends a strong public health message on the importance of continuing research on air pollution and health.

description: Der Beitrag stellt aktuelle und historische Übersetzungsfunktionen der Area Studies bzw. der Welt-Regionalstudien zur Diskussion. Dabei wird Translation einerseits als Kulturtechnik des Umgangs mit kulturellen Differenzen beleuchtet. Andererseits wird Übersetzung als wissenschaftliche Analysekategorie stark gemacht, die über die traditionelle Vermittlungsfunktion von Regionalwissen hinausführt und konkreter als bisher eine Neupositionierung der Regionalforschung in weltweiten Austauschbeziehungen auf den Weg bringen kann. Die Aufmerksamkeit auf Übersetzungsbeziehungen ermöglicht, das Konzept der Region zu überdenken und ausgehend von konkreten Translationszonen genauere Einblicke in transregionale Verflechtungen zu gewinnen. So werden Dichotomien wie global-lokal, universell-partikular unterlaufen; (kolonialistisch geprägte) Machtasymmetrien, aber auch neue Formen der Wissensgewinnung werden in den Blick gerückt – jenseits der Opposition zwischen einem allgemein-disziplinären und einem regionalbasierten Wissen. Ziel eines solchen translatorischen Zugangs ist es, Gelenkstellen für kooperative Wissensproduktion und für Wechselübersetzungen in der globalen Wissenschaftskommunikation zu markieren – die nicht zuletzt auch die eigenen Analysebegriffe kritisch relativieren und Fragen nach der Übersetzbarkeit universeller Konzepte aufwerfen.
description: This working paper discusses current and historical translation functions of Area Studies and worldwide Regional Studies. On the one hand, translation is examined as a cultural technique to deal with cultural differences. On the other hand, translation is identified as an analytical category – a category for a research practice, which goes beyond its traditional function: the transmission of regional know-hows. More specifically, it leads to a repositioning of Area Studies in globalized exchanges. By devoting new attention to translation relationships it allows reconsidering the concept of regions; and it helps to gain more concrete insights into trans-regional linkages and entanglements based on concrete zones of translation. In consequence, dichotomies such as globallocal, universal-particular are avoided, and (colonialist-shaped) power inequalities as well as new ways of acquiring knowledge are taken into account – above and beyond the opposition between a general-disciplinary and a specific regional-based knowledge. The aim of the translational approach advocated here is to highlight the interfaces in the cooperative production of knowledge and to draw attention to reciprocal translations in global scientific communication – while putting our own concepts of analysis into a critical perspective and question whether concepts claiming to be universal can be translated at all.

A written text can be considered an attempt to convey a meaningful message which ends up being constrained by language rules, context dependence and highly redundant in its use of resources. Despite all these constraints, unpredictability is an essential element of natural language. Here we present the use of entropic measures to assert the balance between predictability and surprise in written text. In short, it is possible to measure innovation and context preservation in a document. It is shown that this can also be done at the different levels of organization of a text. The type of analysis presented is reasonably general, and can also be used to analyze the same balance in other complex messages such as DNA, where a hierarchy of organizational levels are known to exist.

description: This capstone, in partnership with the Regional Plan Association, provides an opportunity to assess a methodological process used to measure air pollution in the built environment. In October 2019, NYC converted 14th Street into a “busway” by placing restrictions on the hours cars could drive along 14th Street between 3rd and 9th Avenues. Measured PM​₂.₅ concentrations along 14th Street provided a glimpse into the potential reduction in air pollution attributable to vehicular traffic. Data from low-cost air monitors can be used as a tool for urban planners, elected officials, community advocates and policy makers to call for greater action. Dynamic sensing such as used in this capstone monitors the air quality along a path in order to replicate the hyper-local air quality environment a NYC resident might experience and subsequent inhalation exposure to particulate matter. Results from this study show differences in air quality between 14th Street and 23rd Street for PM​₂.₅ concentrations, as well as AM versus PM concentration differences within each street. Box-and-whisker plots were used to examine the summary statistics and spread of data collected for each street. The entire quartile range for 14th Street was 2 μg/m³ ​while the third and fourth quartile ranges for 23rd Street spanned 5-9 μg/m³. Though the difference in acute exposure is relatively small, there is some potential for a difference in negative health outcomes between 14th Street and 23rd Street based on cumulative effects of a double to quadruple increase in PM​₂.₅ exposure long-term. The results from this project are important because they show a measurable difference in PM​₂.₅ concentrations between 14th Street and 23rd Street which may be associated with the recent urban planning intervention to convert 14th Street from 3rd Avenue to 9th Avenue into a busway. It is imperative more studies investigate the relationship between urban planning and public health to better understand how the built environment can be used as a tool for public health.

description: We argue that in channels cut out of anisotropic single crystal superconductors and narrow on the scale of London penetration depth, the persistent current must cause the transverse phase difference provided the current does not point in any of the principal crystal directions. The difference is proportional to the current value and depends on the anisotropy parameter, on the current direction relative to the crystal, and on the transverse channel dimension. An experimental set up to measure the transverse phase is proposed.

description: Airborne particulates and the health problems they cause are of particular concern in dense urban areas. This thesis focuses on the relationships between airborne particulate levels, hospitalizations for health problems known to be associated with particulates, and demographic variables. Using data collected during bike transects and GIS/spatial analysis, I found a significant correlation between large particulates and respiratory hospitalizations, between small particulates and heart disease/cancer hospitalizations, and between particulates and areas of high poverty. Although further research is needed, these findings indicate that environmental justice issues exist and that particulate mitigation must be undertaken in order to protect the health of Harlem's residents.

description: Territoriale Gewaltkontrolle durch (nicht-)staatliche Gewaltakteure ist Gegenstand einer großen Zahl grundlegender Konzepte der Konfliktforschung. Es existieren bereits erste Ansätze dieses Phänomen zu messen und raumzeitlich einzugrenzen, jedoch beruhen diese Messungen bislang entweder auf qualitativen Einschätzungen von Experten oder – im Zuge der zunehmenden Verfügbarkeit raumzeitlich desaggregierter Daten von Gewaltereignissen – der Bestimmung umkämpfter Areale auf Grundlage bewaffneter Auseinandersetzungen. Im vorliegenden Papier werden drei Ansätze zur näherungsweisen Bestimmung der Präsenz von Gewaltakteuren vorgestellt. Dabei wird auftretenden Hindernissen und Herausforderungen der Messung territorialer Gebietskontrolle durch den Einsatz von Informationen über den territorialen Wettbewerb begegnet. Hierzu werden raumzeitlich desaggregierte Ereignisdaten ausgewählter Untersuchungsländer in Sub-Sahara Afrika exemplarisch genutzt, um die Möglichkeiten der Visualisierung territorialen Wettbewerbs unter Gewaltakteuren und dem Einfluss der Auflösung der Daten nachzugehen. Darüber hinaus wird die Verfügbarkeit von gleichfalls raumzeitlich desaggregierten Kontextdaten und entsprechenden Analyseverfahren diskutiert.
description: Territorial control by violent (non-)state actors (VNSA) in sub-state war features prominently in many fundamental concepts in conflict studies. Though there have been attempts to measure this phenomenon or at least delimit it from a spatiotemporal perspective, these have so far been based either primarily on qualitative expert assessments or rely on dyadic event data to determine contested areas. In this methodological research paper, I present three approaches that can be used to estimate actor presence on basis of spatiotemporal approximation. In doing so, I focus on challenges and obstacles that can be encountered when measuring territorial control via the proxy of territorial contestation. Spatiotemporally disaggregated violent incidence data is used to analyze a small subsample of countries in sub- Saharan Africa in order to determine various ways of visualizing territorial contest. Further points of discussion include the impact of data aggregation, the availability of context data and analytical methods used for these evaluations.

 Type locality: South side of Wistari Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia (18 m depth).
 Type: QMG 313665 (holotype /alcohol). South side of Wistari Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, 23∞29.4¢S, 151∞52.8¢E, 18 m depth. Collected by: G. Wörheide, 7 July 1998.
 Colour: The colour of the holotype has changed from white to dark brown while preserved in alcohol (Wörheide & Hooper, 1999).
 Description: The cormus comprises thin, regular and tightly anastomosed tubes which seem bright because of the spicules (Fig. 1A). At the apical region, the tubes become larger and have terminal oscula. They are typical water-collecting tubes. In some parts of the cormus, a structure resembling a cortex appears to be present and small cavities can sometimes be found below it. The brownish colour results from the presence of cells with brown granules (Fig. 1B).
The skeleton has no special organization, comprising equiangular and equiradiate triactines and tetractines (Fig. 1C), the former slightly more abundant. Actines are conical with sharp tips and slightly undulated. The apical actine of the tetractines (Fig. 1D) is shorter and thinner than the facial ones, cylindrical, sharp, smooth and straight.
 Remarks: This agrees with the original description of C. adusta, if one considers the presence of one size class of triactines. However, this population is very variable and, perhaps, there are in fact two populations of triactines, differing in their sizes. In relation to the shape of the actines, it is considered as conical and not ‘more-or-less cylindrical’. In the original description (Wörheide & Hooper, 1999), the micrometry of the triactines was:
The organization of the cormus, together with the cells with granules, is the best character to recognize this species

description: Lack of appropriate diagnostic/prognostic tools for glioblastoma (GB) is considered one of the major setbacks in the early diagnosis and treatment of this deadly brain tumor. The current gold standard for its diagnosis and staging still relies on invasive biopsy followed by histological examination as well as molecular profiling. Nevertheless, noninvasive approaches are being explored and one example is through the investigation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the biofluids of GB patients. EVs are known to carry molecular cargoes such as DNA, mRNA, miRNA, proteins and lipids in almost every type of body fluids. Thus, molecular signature of GB may be present in the EVs derived from these patients. This review focuses on the diagnostic/prognostic potential of EVs in GB, through presenting recent studies on (i) molecular components of EVs, (ii) links between EVs and GB tumor microenvironment, and (iii) clinical potential of EV biomarkers, together with the technical shortcomings researchers need to consider for future studies.

description: The theme of doing quantum mechanics on all abelian groups goes back to Schwinger and Weyl. If the group is a vector space of finite dimension over a non-archimedean locally compact division ring, it is of interest to examine the structure of dynamical systems defined by Hamiltonians analogous to those encountered over the field of real numbers. In this letter a path integral formula for the imaginary time propagators of these Hamiltonians is derived.

description: Since the 1980s, the United States has promoted human rights and democracy as a major part of its foreign policy. This was an important departure from the traditional US foreign policy posture that relied on authoritarian governments as the most expedient means to ensuring American influence abroad, especially in the third world. But the post-Cold War era ushered in a new approach: the US began promoting its values vis-a-vis democracy and human rights abroad with the use of foreign aid. Following the September 9, 2001 terrorist attacks, US foreign aid to the Middle East strengthened its emphasis on democracy, human rights and socio-economic reforms. The reorientation was premised on the idea that an Arab world with these reforms would be less likely to serve as breeding grounds for radicalism and possibly counter existing extremism. For decades, policymakers and scholars have grappled with the question of whether or not US aid indeed has any impact on the improvement of human rights conditions, and the Middle East has been of particular relevance in this context because of historical US interest in the region. This study examines the impact of US foreign aid on human rights, specifically physical integrity rights, in Egypt during the intermediate years after the 9/11 attacks (2001) and before the Arab Spring unrest (2010). The objective is to determine whether or not the distribution of US democracy aid had a positive or negative-or any noticeable-effect on physical integrity rights in Egypt during that period. It uses the Political Terror Scale (PTS) as the main measure of the outcome of interest, and the findings reveal indiscernible to a near negative relationship between US aid (democracy aid) and physical integrity rights in Egypt.
