Pseudonoduloconus

description: Genus Pseudonoduloconus Tucker & Tenorio, 2009
Type species (by original designation): Conus carnalis Sowerby III, 1879. Recent. Western Africa.
According to Tucker & Tenorio (2009) this genus is characterised by shells with false nodules, formed by elevations at the junction of the shoulder and major growth lines. Subsutural flexure shallow, moderately curved, strongly asymmetrical. Based on the species included in the genus by Tucker & Tenorio (2009) the shells have spiral cords or faint spiral striae on the spire whorls, which are more or less concave. Aside from the spire sculpture, the species are reminiscent of Monteiroconus species. The genus is restricted to Western Africa; Miocene and Pliocene species are documented from the proto-Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern Atlantic including the Azores. This genus was not treated by Puillandre et al. (2014b), but accepted by Puillandre et al. (2014a).

description: Manifold learning obtains a low-dimensional representation of an underlying Riemannian manifold supporting high-dimensional data. Kernel density estimates of the low-dimensional embedding with a fixed bandwidth fail to account for the way manifold learning algorithms distort the geometry of the Riemannian manifold. We propose a novel distortion-corrected kernel density estimator (DC-KDE) for any manifold learning embedding, with a bandwidth that depends on the estimated Riemannian metric at each data point. Exploiting the geometric information of the manifold leads to more accurate density estimation, which subsequently could be used for anomaly detection. To compare our proposed estimator with a fixed-bandwidth kernel density estimator, we run two simulations including one with data lying in a 100 dimensional ambient space. We demonstrate that the proposed DC-KDE improves the density estimates as long as the manifold learning embedding is of sufficient quality, and has higher rank correlations with the true manifold density. Further simulation results are provided via a supplementary R shiny app. The proposed method is applied to density estimation in statistical manifolds of electricity usage with the Irish smart meter data.

Year: 1985

description: This New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) study establishes PCB and pesticide bioaccumulation in fish in the Hudson River-Upper Bay-Newark Bay system.  It finds that for many species, PCB levels are higher than U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) acceptable level of 2 parts per million.  At these levels, humans eating the fish are at much greater risk for cancer.  The study also examines the attitudes of people fishing in these areas to determine how seriously they take the health risks.  In many cases, those fishing the contaminated fish either did not know they were hazardous or knew they were hazardous but ate them anyway.  The report presents alternative methods of informing the public to ensure that the health risks are understood.

Bagous subruber

description: 9. Bagous subruber group
Diagnosis. Area over eye tuberculate. Tarsomeres short, nearly as long as wide and all of the same width. Sclerites complex within tube of penis body with two pairs of subapical sclerites, one submedian and the other sublateral and posteriorly joined (char. 84.3). Penis body laterally membranous and dorsally with two overlapping poorly sclerotized pairs of plates covering orifice (char. 67.1).
Remarks. Monophyly of this group is suggested by the uncommon shape of the body of the penis and the endophallic sclerites. Although the unique synapomorphies are in the features of the penis body, these species have a characteristic habitus (shape of pronotum, elytra and legs and elytral vestiture) which allows their easy recognition. The group is presently composed of five Palaearctic species.

description: Puccinia lilii-cordifolii (Dietel) Kakish., Jing X. Ji, K. Hosaka & Hosoya, comb. nov.
MycoBank: 854816.
Basionym:— Aecidium lilii-cordifolii Dietel, Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 32: 629, 1903 [MB147627].
Heterotypic synonym:— Puccinia hibayamensis Morim., Journal of Japanese Botany 34: 185, 1959 [MB304653].
Type:— Lectotype is selected from specimens in TNS and designated here; 0, I on Lilium cordifolium Thunb. [= L. cordatum (Thunb.) Koiz.], Japan, Ibaraki Prefecture, Mt. Tsukuba, May 1900, S. Kusano, No 23, TNS-F100535, [MBT10021460]. Paratype in NY (611181). Epitype specimen is designated here because the morphology of uredinial and telial stages are important characters to specify this species: II, III on Carex multifolia Ohwi (= C. dolichostachya var. glaberrima (Ohwi) T. Koyama, Japan, Hiroshima Prefecture, Mt. Hibayama, 15 December 1957, HH56482, Holotype of P. hibayamensis, [MBT10021422].
Description:—See Morimoto (1959) and Hiratsuka et al. (1992).
Hosts and distribution in Japan:—0, I on Cardiocrinum cordatum (Thunb.) Makino var. cordatum (= Lilium cordatum (Thunb.) Koidz. var. cordatum) (Hon, Shi, Kyu), C. cordatum var. glehnii (F. Schmidt) H. Hara (= Lilium cordatum var. glehnii (Fr. Schum.) Wood.; II, III on Carex alterniflora Franch. var. alterniflora [= C. pisiformis subsp. alteniflora (Franch.) T.

Koyama, C. dolichostachya var. glaberrima (Ohwi) T. Koyama] (Morimoto 1959, 1961, Hiratsuka 1960, Hiratsuka et al. 1992).
Notes:—Life cycle of this species was proved by Hiratsuka & Kaneko (1977) and Kakishima & Sato (1980) (Hiratsuka et al. 1984). Aecidium lilii-cordifolii is the earliest legitimate name of this species. Therefore, a new combination name, based on this anamorphic species name, Puccinia lilii-cordifolii, is proposed under the ICNafp Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018). This species has been reported from China and Taiwan (Ito 1950, Hiratsuka 1960, Tai 1979, Hiratsuka & Chen 1991, Hiratsuka et al. 1992).

Type:— Holotype in BPI (081201).
Description:—See Hiratsuka et al. (1992).
Hosts and distribution in Japan:—0, I on Lysimachia mauritiaua Lam. (Hon, Shi); II, III on Carex hakonensis Franch. & Sav. (Hok), C. limosa L. (= C. limosa var. fuscocoprea Kük.) (Hok, Hon), C. pseudocuraica F. Schmidt (Hok, Hon) (Ito 1950, Hiratsuka 1960, Hiratsuka et al. 1992).
Notes:— Ito (1950) and Hiratsuka et al. (1992) reported this species based on specimens collected in Japan, but its identity and taxonomic treatment should be re-examined because this species has been treated as Puccinia caricina DC. or P. caricis Rebent. (Zhuang et al. 1998, Azbukina 2005). They also reported spermogonial and aecial stages of this species as Aecidium lysimachiae Schwein. on Lysimachia mauritiaua, but its life cycle connection needs to be reconfirmed. This species is widely distributed in the world including China and Russian Far East (Tai 1979, Zhuang et al. 1998, Azbukina2005).

description: 11. Bagous biimpressus group
Diagnosis. Segment 7 of antennal funicle elongate (char. 20.1), nearly as wide as segment 6 (char. 21.1). Antennal club structure indistinctly segmented, 1st segment elongate, glabrous and shining, 2nd and 3rd segments very short, distinctly pubescent (char. 23.1). Prosternal canal scarcely developed (char. 31.1), especially in its proximal half, which is higher than the distal half, forming a weak basal ridge (char. 32.1); postero-lateral margins of prosternal canal barely raised (char. 33.1). Female pygidium with apex broadly blunted (char. 54.1), forming a flat, thickened, arcuate margin (char. 55.1). Sclerites complex within tube of penis body with a pair of submedian subapical sclerites posteriorly joined (char. 84.2). Median setal brush behind orifice situated at base of subapical sclerites (excluding B. petro) (char. 92.1).
Remarks. This group was also strongly or moderately strongly supported in the phylogenetic analyses. It traditionally formed the subgenus Ephimeropus and is characterized by several genital as well as non-genital characters, in part shared with other groups. Caldara & O’Brien (1998) separated three species— B. geniculatus, B. geniculatodes and B. mucronatus —in the B. geniculatus group, on the basis of several synapomorphies from external morphology—postocular lobe ventrally indistinct, not raised, not forming discontinuity with anterior prosternal margin (char. 30.0); tibiae with long fine swimming hairs, many of which are much longer than diameter of tibia (char. 47.1); third tarsomere sub-glabrous beneath, with few long setae (char. 53.2)—and of the male genitalia—penis body with more or less sagittate apex (char. 5 9.1), with orificial lateral sclerites apically attached to the sides of the penis body (char. 77.1) and distinctly laterally movable (char. 78.1), appearing like a dorsal process ("false" dorsal process).
This group is currently composed of five Palaearctic and one Indian species.

Conus (Stephanoconus) wagneri Boettger—Zilch 1934: 276, pl. 22, figs 9a–b.
Type material. Holotype, illustrated by Zilch (1934, pl. 22, fig. 9), Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt/Main, German, SMF XII.2204 a, Coşteiu de Sus (Romania); middle Miocene, Badenian.
Studied material. Holotype.
Illustrated material. Figs 33 I1–I3: Holotype, SMF XII.2204 a; coll. O. Boettger 1899, SL: 15.0 mm, diameter: 8.5 mm, Coşteiu de Sus (Romania); picture Sigrid Hof, courtesy Ronald Janssen, section Malacology, Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut Frankfurt / Main.
Revised description. Stout, biconical shell with moderately high, coeloconoid to conical spire; spire whorls with bulgy rim along lower suture and shallow mid-whorl concavity; striate. Subsutural flexure moderately deep, asymmetrically curved. Blurred nodes on shoulder, causing strongly undulating suture. Distinctly angulated shoulder; last whorl slightly ventricose, weakly constricted at base; entirely covered by very weak spiral cords. Siphonal fasciole weakly swollen and twisted. Aperture and siphonal canal largely destroyed. No colour pattern preserved.
Shell measurements and ratios. SL: 15.0 mm, MD:. 8.5 mm, spire angle: 85°, last whorl angle: 50°, LW: 1.76, RD: 0.79, PMD: 1.09, RSH: 0.28.
Discussion. This is a poorly known species, documented only by its holotype, which might represent a subadult specimen. Despite the small size, the sculpture of the spire whorls suggests a placement in Pseudonoduloconus Tucker & Tenorio, 2009. The lack of tubercles on early spire whorls does not contradict this allocation as the extant type species P. carnalis (Sowerby III, 1879) lacks tubercles as well. Nevertheless, this feature allows a separation from the two other Paratethyan species of this genus, which both have strongly tuberculate early spire whorls. Hence, we can exclude that the shell is just a juvenile of P. austriacus (Hoernes & Auinger, 1879) or P. gastaldii (Michelotti, 1847).
Kovács & Balász (2016) treated Conus wagneri Boettger, 1902 as a junior synonym of Conilithes granularis (Borson) [herein described as Artemidiconus granularis (Borson, 1820)]. In our opinion, both taxa differ considerably in outline and spire sculpture. Especially the nodulose shoulder and the moderately deep and asymmetrical subsutural flexure of P. wagneri differ considerably from A. granularis. Moreover, it lacks the characteristic beads on the last whorl of A. granularis.
Paleoenvironment. Unknown.
Distribution in Paratethys. Badenian (middle Miocene): Transylvanian Basin: Coşteiu de Sus (Romania) (Boettger 1902).

Watershed Plan - Environmental Assessment for Navesink Watershed, Monmouth County, New Jersey
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation Service
Year: 1985

description: This watershed plan primarily involves the reduction of sheet and rill erosion from cropland in the Navesink Watershed by installing various land treatment practices.  Soil erosion, in addition to causing a deterioration of the resource base, is contributing to the degradation of water quality and quantity in a public water supply reservoir.  Secondary agricultural problems exist and are caused by the improper management of animal wastes.  These wastes contribute to both nutrient and bacterial levels in the watershed.  Alternative plans, other than no project, involve erosion control with various degrees of agricultural waste management.  Beneficial impacts include reducing 4325 acres of cropland to acceptable erosion levels, reducing nutrient and sediment levels to the water supply reservoir, and reducing bacterial levels in shellfish waters of the Navesink Estuary.  Project costs are expected to be approximately $1,203,600.  Local sponsors and landowners will pay approximately 42 percent ($501,000) of this cost.

Ocean City Seafood Industrial Park Feasibility Study
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: County of Ocean, Board of Chosen Freeholders
Year: 1982

description: Ocean County received a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Division of Coastal Resources, Bureau of Coastal Planning, to study the feasibility of establishing a large-scale seafood industrial park in the County.  The study examined: Ocean County's seafood industry resource base; marketing factors affecting present industry expansion; site locations, physical specifications, and costs of a prototypical seafood park; projected cash flow for the construction and operation of a seafood facility; and various development vehicles and financing mechanisms through which the project could possibly be developed.  The report concludes that, despite Ocean County's many advantages and possible vast economic benefits that would ensue from the project, there are numerous economic, technological, and marketing factors that greatly inhibit the development of a large scale integrated seafood industrial park, and Ocean County should concentrate its efforts in assisting the smaller scale fishery businesses to preserve and enhance the viability of this most important industry.

Creators: name: Akeem Olalekan, AYUB
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: AbstractMedical Identity Theft is a pressing concern in healthcare systems, influenced by intricate motivations and vulnerabilities. This study investigates facilitating factors behind MIT, uncovers internal vulnerabilities, and proposes mitigation strategies. Thisstudy contributes to patient well-being and trust by fostering a secure healthcare environment through holistic MIT prevention strategies. A mixed-methods approach was employed, encompassing quantitative and qualitative aspects to explore the perpetration of MIT, Zaria, a significant healthcare institution. The diverse sample of 388 participants, including patients, healthcare providers, and stakeholders, was obtained through stratified random sampling. Structured interviews and questionnaires gathered primary data. Findings showcase a diverse workforce with a mid-career presence and gender distribution in technical roles. Significant facilitating factors for MIT encompass financial gain, fraudulent service access, and expense avoidance, necessitating robust patient identification procedures and comprehensive strategies. Internal vulnerabilities and inadequate data security underscore the need for enhanced measures, updated systems, and education. Respondents endorse a multifaceted approach, advocating biometric identification, authentication, patient photograph display, unique identifiers, access controls, staff training, real-time data verification, audit trails, data encryption, and patient education. Collaboration, awareness, and technology emerge as key elements in safeguarding patient data, ethical healthcare standards, and integrity. Findings advocate a comprehensive approach, emphasizing collaboration, awareness, and technology in addressing MIT.Keywords: Healthcare Security, Internal Vulnerabilities, Medical Identity Theft, Mitigation Strategies, Patient Data Protection

description: Puccinia lysimachiae-japonicae (Dietel) Kakish., Jing X. Ji, K. Hosaka & Hosoya, comb. nov.
MycoBank: 854817.
Basionym:— Aecidium lysimachiae-japonicae Dietel, Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 34: 590, 1905 [MB154312].
Heterotypic synonym:— Puccinia caricis-fediae Y. Harada, Transactions of the Mycological Society of Japan 27: 364, 1986 [MB131616].
Type:— Lectotype is selected from specimens in TNS and designated here; 0, I on Lysimachia japonica Thunb., Japan, Aomori Prefecture, Shichinohe, 5 June 1903 by N. Nambu, TNS-F100921, [MBT10021354]. Paratype in TNS (F100355). Epitype specimen is designated here because the morphology of uredinial and telial stage is important characters to specify this species: II, III on Carex miyabei Franch. [= C. fedia var. miyabei (Franch.) T. Koyama, C. wallichiana var. miyabei (Franch.) Kük.], Japan, Aomori Prefecture, Hirosaki-shi, 14 August 1981, Obtained by inoculation, Y. Harada, HHUF11690, Holotype of Puccinia caricis-fediae, [MBT10021346].
Description:—See Harada (1986) and Hiratsuka et al. (1992).
Hosts and distribution in Japan:—0, I on Lysimachia japonica Thunb. (Hon); II, III on Carex miyabei Franch. [= C. fedia var. miyabei (Franch.) T. Koyama, C. wallichiana var. miyabei (Franch.) Kük.] (Hon) (Harada 1986, Hiratsuka et al. 1992).
Notes:—Life cycle of this species was proved by Harada (1986). Aecidium lysimachiae-japonicae is the legitimate earliest name of this species. Therefore, a new combination name, based on this anamorphic species name, Puccinia lysimachiae-japonicae, is proposed under the ICNafp Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).
