description: Mictini
The tribe Mictini is found only in the Eastern Hemisphere and comprises 47 genera (Schuh & Slater 1995). Cytologically, this tribe is represented by 13 species belonging to 6 genera. The present study adds 3 species viz., Anoplocnemis binotata, Ochrochira nigrorufa and Prionolomia sp. to the pre-existing cytogenetic data for Mictini.
The diploid chromosome complement is 2n=15=14A+X0 in Anoplocnemis binotata as also recorded in Anoplocnemis phasiana (Sands 1982) and Anoplocnemis compressa (Kaur & Bansal 2012a). Two pairs of autosomes are extremely large and the rest of the 5 pairs are medium. Microchromosomes are absent (Fig. 1). X shows a characteristic behavior during diplotene. At the start of diplotene, X appears decondensed with chromatids lying parallel. But as diplotene progresses, it shows differential condensation along its length, being partly condensed and partly decondensed and appears tong-shaped, sometimes bent also. By late diplotene/diakinesis, condensation of the X is completed (Figs. 6–9). This observation led us to re-examine diplotene stages of Anoplocnemis compressa (Figs. 14–17) and Anoplocnemis phasiana (Figs. 18–21); a similar behavior was recorded in them also which, however, was overlooked by Sands (1982) in Anoplocnemis phasiana and was misinterpreted as X1X2 by us in Anoplocnemis compressa in an earlier study (Kaur & Bansal 2012a).
The diploid chromosome number of Ochrochira nigrorufa is 2n=21=18A+ 2m +X0, which is the same as in Ochrochira granulipes, Ochrochira rubrotincta and Ochrochira aberrans (Dey & Wangdi 1990; Sands 1982; Kaur & Bansal 2012a). However, in Ochrochira albiditarsis and Ochrochira sp., 2n is 21=20A+X0 and 26=22A+ 2m + X1X2 0, respectively as reported by Parshad (1957b) and Jande (1959). A gradual gradation in size has been observed in the autosomes. Microchromosomes in Ochrochira nigrorufa are unusually large as compared to other coreids (Fig. 2). Such large microchromosomes have earlier been recorded in Ochrochira granulipes, Ochrochira rubrotincta, Ochrochira aberrans and Elasmomia granulipes (Sands 1982; Dey & Wangdi 1990; Kaur & Bansal 2012a). These microchromosomes remain as univalents during diplotene, but get terminally associated to form a pseudobivalent in late prophase I and orientate in the center of the autosomal ring at metaphase I.
Prionolomia sp., cytologically studied for the first time, possesses a diploid chromosome complement of 2n=27=24A+ 2m +X0. One pair of autosomes is distinctly large, 7 pairs are medium and 4 pairs are distinctly small (Fig. 3).

Bere sangue di toro per dimostrare la propria innocenza. Una possibile interpretazione del fr. 178 R.2 della Helenes Apaitesis di Sofocle

description: The scholium to v. 84b of Aristophanes’ Knights preserves two verses from a Sophocles’ tragedy named after Helene, as the scholium itself points out. That tragedy is generally identified as the Helenes Apaitesis, a play almost entirely lost. The plot probably concerned the legation formed by Menelaus and Odysseus, who aimed to obtain the restitution of Helene. In the fr. 178 a character (very likely Helene), says that she would rather drink bull’s blood than bear the offences of some men (τῶνδ’), who we can assume are the Trojans. In ancient times Greeks believed that bull’s blood was a lethal poison for whomever drunk it. Several characters of Greek myth and history were thought to have died in this way; among them one of the most famous was surely Themistocles who, according to some historians, had committed suicide drinking bull’s blood in order to prove that he had always acted honestly towards Greece. Several authors (such as Thucydides, Diodorus of Sicily, Plutarch, Athaeneus and Cicero) narrate this imaginative version of the story, thus we can assume that it was very known. Furthermore, in the scholium already quoted it is said that the grammatikos Symmacus was strongly against that account, therefore we can infer that it was still popular in the IV century. Though in a different context, also Pausanias assigns to bull’s blood the power to prove someone’s honesty. He writes that in Gea’s sanctuary in Egira the priestesses must prove their virginity through a sort of ordeal: they had to drink bull’s blood, and only the virgins would survive. All this evidence could lead to a new interpretation of fr. 178 from Helenes Apaitesis; these verses could suggest a precise characterization of Helene: a desperate woman ready to face this terrible ordeal in order to prove herself not guilty. This fierce act of courage actually masks the certainty of a positive outcome, considering her inculpability. Helene, through the exact reference to bull’s blood, strongly claims her inno- cence, and the Athenian public of the V century had surely understood that.

description: Gonocerini
Gonocerini is represented by 7 genera, all found in the Eastern Hemisphere (Schuh & Slater 1995). Cytological data pertains to 18 species belonging to 4 genera which include 14 species of Cletus. In the present study, Cletus borealis has been cytogenetically investigated. The chromosome complement of Cletus borealis is 2n=18=14A+ 2m + X1X2 0, which is represented in 9 other species of Cletus (Toshioka 1935; Manna 1951; Dutt 1957; Parshad 1957b, 1958; Banerjee 1958; Sands 1982; Satapathy & Patnaik 1989; Kaur & Semahagn 2010; Yang et al. 2012; Kaur & Bansal 2012a). Deviations have been recorded in Cletus graminis and Cletus sp. with 2n=17=14A+ 2m +X0 (Das 1958; Yang et al. 2012) and Cletus sp. with 2n=19=18A+X0 (Parshad 1957b). In Cletus borealis with 7 pairs of autosomes, 2 pairs of autosomes are extremely large and 5 pairs are small, as also observed in other species of Cletus having 7 pairs of autosomes (Fig. 4). However, in Cletus sp. with 9 pairs of autosomes, only 1 large autosomal pair is present (Parshad 1957b). Microchromosomes are present in all the species of Cletus excepting Cletus sp. In Cletus, the dominant sex determination mechanism is X1X2 0, present in 10 out of 15 species.

description: Homoeocerini
Homoeocerini is represented by 12 genera (Schuh & Slater 1995), all found in the Eastern Hemisphere. Cytologically, only 2 genera have been investigated, Homoeocerus (16 species) and Anacanthocoris (1 species). In the present study, the chromosome complement of Homoeocerus macula is described. In Homoeocerus macula, 2n is 21 with 18 autosomes, 2 microchromosomes and X0 sex mechanism (Fig. 24). A similar complement has been observed in 11 other species of Homoeocerus (Toshioka 1934, 1935; Dutt 1957; Parshad 1957a, b; Manna & Deb Mallick 1981; Sands 1982; Takenouchi & Muramoto, 1967; Yang et al. 2012). Deviations from this number have been recorded in Homoeocerus angulatus with 2n=22=18A+ 2m + X1X2 0, in Homoeocerus limbatipennis with 2n=20=18A+ X1X2 0 (Sands 1982), in Homoeocerus unipunctatus with 2n=19=16A+ 2m +X0 (Toshioka 1935) and in Homoeocerus serrifer with 2n=18=16A+ X1X2 0 (Sands 1982). An autosome number of 18 is quite stable, being present in all excepting Homoeocerus serrifer and Homoeocerus unipunctatus, both of which have 16 autosomes; and Homoeocerus bannaensis which has 14 autosomes. In species of Homoeocerus with 9 pairs of autosomes, distinct size groups are not found. However, in Homoeocerus bannaensis with 7 autosomal pairs, 1 pair of autosomes is extremely large. Microchromosomes are present in all the species except Homoeocerus limbatipennis and Homoeocerus serrifer. In Homoeocerus, X0 is the dominant sex mechanism, present in 13 species; whereas X1X2 0 is present only in 3 species.
Acanthocorini
Acanthocorini is represented by 8 genera, all found in the Eastern Hemisphere (Schuh & Slater 1995). Cytologically, 7 species belonging to 2 genera are known and the diploid number is highly variable ranging from 19 to 26. In Petalocnemis obscura, here studied for the first time, has 2n= 26=22A+ 2m + X1X2 0. The complement is conspicuous by 2 pairs of very small autosomes, 5 pairs of large, 4 pairs of medium autosomes. X1 and X2 are unequal in size (Fig. 5).

description: Anhomoeini
Tribe Anhomoeini, found only in the Eastern Hemisphere, is represented taxonomically by 5 species of a single genus, Anhomoeus. Anhomoeus nepalensis shows a diploid chromosome complement of 2n=21=18+ 2m +X0 (Fig. 26), as also reported in Anhomoeus sulcatus by Kaur & Bansal (2012a). Although their complements are similar in both species, but marked differences are recorded. In Anhomoeus nepalensis, autosomes show size gradation from large to small and the X chromosome is the largest element of the complement; whereas in Anhomoeus sulcatus, one autosome is distinctly large and X is almost equal to one of the small autosomes (Kaur & Bansal 2012a).

The relative timing of skin-to-gill transitions for sodium and oxygen uptake and the plasticity of gill ionoregulatory development in larval rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
Creators: name: Fu, Clarice Hei Lok
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study is the first to provide direct physiological evidence that larval fish gills play a primary role in ionoregulation considerably earlier than they do for gas exchange. Resting unidirectional sodium (Na+) and oxygen (O₂) uptake across the skin and gills were measured simultaneously in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss between 0 to 18 days post-hatch (dph). The age at which the gills accounted for more than 50% of total uptake occurred at 15 and 16dph for Na+ uptake while that for O2 uptake occurred at 23 and 28 dph in soft and hard water, respectively. The finding that Na+ uptake transitioned to the gills in about half the time required to do so for O₂uptake suggests that the gills are required for ionoregulation prior to gas exchange in rainbow trout. The ratio of Na+ to O₂uptake rates (ion/gas ratio; IGR) increased with age indicating that the ionoregulatory components of the gills developed more rapidly than those for gas exchange. The timing of transition for Na+ uptake, gill Na+, K+-ATPase (NKA) protein concentration and gill NKA enzyme activity levels were not significantly different between larvae reared in soft and hard water. These results suggest that gill ionoregulatory development is non-plastic. Approximately 90% (hard water) and 75% (soft water) of gill Na+ uptake is estimated to have balanced diffusive Na+ loss; the remaining was incorporated into the body. The apparent lesser Na+ efflux in soft water suggests the presence of specific mechanisms that may reduce ion loss, such as tightening of paracellular junctions. This investigation is the first to provide direct physiological evidence in support of the ionoregulatory hypothesis, challenging the long-held assumption that teleost gills develop initially for gas exchange. In rainbow trout, the gills clearly take on a primary role in ionoregulation in advance of gas exchange, which suggests that ionoregulation may be the initial driving force for gill development in this species. Further investigation would be required to determine how wide spread this relationship may be in teleosts and more basal fishes.

Taxonomic notes. The species was described from Tibet by Corti & Draudt in the Seitz Supplementum (1933) combining with the genus Anaplectoides. Since then, its taxonomic position was debatable. The holotype of the taxon has not been found during our studies, but a male paratype and further two specimens are preserved in the Corti collection, NMB (one male and one female, the abdomen of the female is, unfortunately, missing). The specimens and their labels are illustrated in the figures 4–6. The male genitalia of the species are illustrated here for the first time; the detailed comparison with its congener is given in the introduction and in the diagnoses of X. albicollis, therefore a full redescription of the species seems to be unnecessary.

description: The massive use of artificial neural networks (ANNs), increasingly popular in many areas of scientific computing, rapidly increases the energy consumption of modern high-performance computing systems. An appealing and possibly more sustainable alternative is provided by novel neuromorphic paradigms, which directly implement ANNs in hardware. However, little is known about the actual benefits of running ANNs on neuromorphic hardware for use cases in scientific computing. Here we present a methodology for measuring the energy cost and compute time for inference tasks with ANNs on conventional hardware. In addition, we have designed an architecture for these tasks and estimate the same metrics based on a state-of-the-art analog in-memory computing (AIMC) platform, one of the key paradigms in neuromorphic computing. Both methodologies are compared for a use case in quantum many-body physics in two dimensional condensed matter systems and for anomaly detection at 40 MHz rates at the Large Hadron Collider in particle physics. We find that AIMC can achieve up to one order of magnitude shorter computation times than conventional hardware, at an energy cost that is up to three orders of magnitude smaller. This suggests great potential for faster and more sustainable scientific computing with neuromorphic hardware.
Advancing the serial analysis of gene expression technique and its application to the study of the development of squamous cell lung cancer
Creators: name: Zuyderduyn, Scott Dorjan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadliest forms of cancer. Squamous cell lung carcinomas (SCC), a common lung cancer subtype, feature a series of identifiable premalignant and early malignant forms that progress sequentially into full-blown tumours. This thesis describes a sophisticated and statistically rigorous analysis of global gene expression profiles taken from samples of several key stages of progression. This dataset was generated using serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), a powerful transcriptome profiling technique that captures small sequence tags from each transcript in an mRNA population. These tags can then be counted and mapped back to a matching transcript sequence to quantitatively determine the expression of a given gene. The analysis identified several genes which show changes in expression that are highly correlated with the progressive steps of SCC. In addition, gene expression changes were identified in samples of bronchial epithelium that correspond to an acute response to tobacco smoke exposure, a major contributor to SCC development. The use of multiple sample types, the presence of extensive cellular heterogeneity, and the rarity of biological material for the purpose of validation introduced an additional layer of complexity that are not well-suited to conventional methods of SAGE analysis. To address these challenges, this thesis describes the development of two methodological improvements to SAGE data analysis. The first describes a computational strategy to identify additional sequence information that effectively increases the length of SAGE tag sequences, greatly enhancing the fidelity of tag to gene mapping. The second describes a new statistical method that shows improved performance in modelling SAGE data. The Poisson mixture model used in this work provides better estimates of statistical significance, is highly effective when using multiple sample types, and is a flexible framework for more complex meta-analyses.

description: Abstract

The rise of drug-resistant oral bacteria poses significant challenges to dental health, necessitating the development of innovative antimicrobial agents. This study explores the potential of thioflavin-derived copper nanoparticles (Th-CuNPs) as a novel solution to combat these resistant pathogens. Synthesized through a green chemistry approach, these Th-CuNPs exhibit unique physicochemical properties that enhance their antimicrobial activity. Our findings demonstrate that thioflavin-derived Th-CuNPs effectively disrupt biofilms and inhibit the growth of common oral pathogens, including Candida albicans, Streptococcus mutans, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. Molecular docking studies revealed strong interactions between Th-CuNPs and key bacterial enzymes, suggesting a mechanism for their potent antibacterial effects. These results highlight the promise of Th-CuNPs as a powerful addition to the arsenal of dental antimicrobial agents, paving the way for advanced treatments in oral healthcare.

Paradise and paradox : on the Super Voice Girls : elementary discussion on popular culture, youth, media and state politics of contemporary China
Creators: name: Zhang, Zan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This paper investigates the Super Voice Girl show (è¶ çº§å¥³å£°) as a popular music outlet and cultural product of contemporary China. Focusing on three important contexts of the Super Voice Girl showâ the industrial, value and ethical foundations, this piece of work demonstrates that the popular cultural outlet, combined with new technologies of mass communication and the new market economy in the Chinese society today, has made a contribution to enabling Chinese youth, in particular, Chinese young women to gain access to achieving a new voice. The three foundations provide people with an opportunity to have a comprehensive understanding about the key elements or fundamental concepts of this new public voice, including the industrial chain of the show, the aspiration for democracy, the subversion of feminist right awareness against traditional ethical outlook or patriarchy-dominated ethical view, and the impact of media propaganda on youth and so on.
