description: Family DAIRELLIDAE Bovallius, 1887
Diagnosis
Body length up to 10 mm; highly transparent. Head large, broad laterally. Eyes large, occupying most of head surface, divided into dorsal and ventral groups of ocelli. Pereon very broad with much narrower pleon tucked underneath. Pereonites 1 & 2 fused. Coxae fused with pereonites (suture sometimes visible). Antennae 1, four­articulate in females; multi­articulate in males, with enlarged callynophore, with two­field brush of aesthestascs medially. Antennae 2 absent in females, or reduced to small knob on cuticle; multi­articulate in males. Mandibles without palp in both sexes; molar relatively well­developed. Maxillae 1 with palp and reduced outer lobe; inner lobe absent. Maxillae 2 consist of a relatively large, single, pear­shaped plate. Maxilliped reduced to simple plate barely covering one­third of Mx2; inner and outer lobes fused or lost. Gnathopods and pereopods simple. Pereopods 3–7 subequal in length. Uropods with articulated endopods and exopods. Telson trapezoid, very small. Gills on pereonites 2–6. Oostegites on pereonites 2– 5.
One genus: Dairella.
Remarks
A most unusual feature of this family is the maxilliped, which is reduced to a single plate, a character shared only with the Paraphronimidae. However, the maxilliped only covers about one­third of the second maxillae, suggesting that the inner and outer lobes have been lost, and only the peduncle remains. In the Paraphronimidae there is a definite suture between the peduncle and the fused inner and outer lobes. Such a suture is absent in the Dairellidae.

description: Tobacco use by youth in California continues to be a critical public health problem, disproportionately affecting low-income, racial and ethnic minority children and adolescents. Innovative tobacco use prevention programs are needed for this population. To address this need we will utilize the afterschool setting, a potential, yet relatively untouched venue, to delivery and assess a tobacco use prevention program by adapting Project TNT, a successful tobacco use prevention program used in middle school classroom environments, for the afterschool setting.

 Guided by the principles of community-based participatory research, Breathe California of Los Angeles, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carson, and the University of California, Los Angeles, have partnered to: 1) adapt Project TNT for a population of low income racial/ethnic minority middle school youth; and 2) conduct a pilot test of the program in South Los Angeles, a region of Los Angeles with a large number of low income African American and Latino families. We will assess the program’s feasibility for delivery in the afterschool setting and impact on participants’ tobacco-related knowledge and awareness, intention to use tobacco, and experimental tobacco use.

 Through this pilot study, we will take the initial steps needed to begin a long term program of research that will adapt and evaluate an innovative youth tobacco use prevention program for delivery in afterschool settings, a unique, promising, and untested tobacco use prevention opportunity with potential for widespread dissemination.

description: Chronic tobacco use can lead to nicotine addiction, which is characterized by compulsive nicotine taking behaviors with loss of control and high relapse frequency. Notably, nicotine serves as a gateway and its use can lead to addiction to alcohol, cocaine and possibly other addictive drugs. Nicotine use is also associated with lung cancer and cardiovascular events, such as stroke, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and sudden death. Despite these negative health consequences, a limited number of pharmacotherapeutic agents are available to treat nicotine addiction. In some cases, these medications are not effective or cause similar adverse effects as smoking tobacco. Thus, novel key mechanisms and pathways that facilitate the aversive effects of nicotine and/or reduce its rewarding and reinforcing actions need to be characterized since they can be potential targets for the development of pharmacotherapy to curb nicotine addiction. Likewise, drugs that reduce the negative affective states associated with nicotine withdrawal can be potential pharmacotherapeutic candidates for smoking cessation.

 Pituitary adenylyl cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) and its receptors (PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2) are found in brain regions implicated in stress response, reward, motivated behaviors and, importantly, in nicotine dependence and addiction. Thus, we hypothesized that PACAP is involved in the rewarding and/or aversive effects of nicotine.

 Our work is relevant to the basic science of nicotine dependence. Our preliminary data show that PACAP is involved in nicotine-induced aversion using the place conditioning and the two-bottle choice paradigms. Thus, the PACAP/PAC1 receptor system may be a potential target for the development of pharmacotherapy to treat nicotine addiction.

description: Long term tobacco use is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease in the world. Each year smoking claims nearly 5 million lives while an estimated 130 million additional people worldwide continue to suffer from smoking related disease. Through intensive research, it has been determined that tobacco use, particularly smoking, causes chronic inflammation resulting in a tobacco users blood forming more platelets, coagulating more readily and accumulating more cholesterol than non-tobacco users which cumulatively results in a high risk of tobacco users developing cardiovascular disease. How tobacco use is able to cause this is gradually becoming more apparent; however, there still exists a strong need for additional information as to exactly which chemical signals are being altered as a result of smoking and how these specific changes in the bodies of tobacco users can be treated therapeutically. In my proposed research, I will use state-of-the-art tools to obtain precise measurements of a large portion of chemicals known to mediate inflammatory responses in the human body and who play a known role in the development of cardiovascular disease in smokers. Using blood samples obtained from roughly 13,000 individuals as part of two landmark cardiovascular disease clinical trials, I will determine how levels of these specific chemicals of interest are affected by tobacco use and which of those are involved in development of cardiovascular disease in long term tobacco users. With this knowledge, a greater understanding of this far reaching and devastating disease can be obtained and new therapeutic strategies, including early diagnosis of which tobacco users are at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease as well as more efficient treatment options for tobacco users who have already become afflicted by tobacco-induced cardiovascular disease.

Influence of Hormone Use on Smoking among Transwomen/men

description: High prevalence of tobacco use among transwomen and transmen has been reported; however, little research has been conducted to investigate tobacco use among transwomen/men in relation to hormone use and psychosocial factors. Many transwomen and transmen seek to align their physical appearance to match their internal gender identity through taking cross-gender hormones and surgical procedures. During the transition, many transwomen/men face a number of difficulties due to transphobia, exposure to sexual and physical violence and harassment, and gender-based discrimination in employment, housing, and access to health care and social services. Professionally guided cross-gender hormone therapy and surgical interventions help transwomen/men to increase health and well-being and assist them to attain safety. However, access to professional hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgery is limited.

 The reported widespread non-prescribed hormone use (NPHU) is troublesome because NPHU is associated with improper dosage and a lack of medical monitoring that elevates health risks. Due to transphobia and lack of access to transgender sensitive health care and social services, transwomen/men are experiencing high rate of negative health outcomes (e.g., substance use and mental health problems and high prevalence of HIV). Though research is limited, high prevalence of smoking among transwomen/men was reported. Further, transgender individuals may be especially vulnerable to the consequences of tobacco use, particularly as hormone use among smokers increases the risk of heart disease. Except for the prevalence of NPHU among transwomen/men, no studies have investigated the relationship between smoking and NPHU and prescribed hormone use (PHU) in psychosocial contexts.

 We will first conduct qualitative interviews, and then a longitudinal survey recruiting adult transwomen/men in the San Francisco Bay area. We will test the hypotheses based on qualitative and quantitative methods: Hypothesis I: Transwomen/men who use non-prescribed hormones (NPHs) are more likely to smoke cigarettes than those who use only prescribed hormones (PHs); Hypothesis II: Transwomen/men who do not adhere to prescribed hormones (PHs) are more likely to smoke than those who adhere to prescribed hormones; Hypothesis III: Transwomen/men who have higher levels of transphobia and depression and lower levels of social support and self-esteem are more likely to smoke and use NPHs than their counterparts. Study findings will be disseminated through community forums and professional meetings and publications. Based on study findings, we will prepare a future tobacco prevention intervention study targeting high risk transwomen/men.

description: The purpose of this project is to request TRDRP funding support in the amount of $5000 for a special project initiative in order to develop a Translational Nicotine Research Group in the 2015 - 2016 calendar year. With this funding support, we aim to develop an annual symposium as an innovative strategy to disseminate information regarding research on nicotine/tobacco accomplished at our host institutions. Our Research Group would discuss groundbreaking strategies to address research questions related to our field, with the aim to reach across disciplines. Our current plan is to have the first symposium be at the University of California, Los Angeles Faculty Center, with a possible second meeting held at the TRDRP Symposium tentatively planned in December of 2015 / January of 2016. We aim to include both prior, current and non-TRDRP nicotine/tobacco researchers in order to have diversity in the population of individuals in attendance and to encourage non-awardees to apply for funding support through the program. We believe the Translational Nicotine Research Group would be ideal for principal investigators, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students in the field. We hope our research group would inspire smaller subsequent network meetings and innovative collaborations across a wide range of disciplines in hopes of reducing the harmful consequences of nicotine/tobacco use. Our meetings would entail a major training component for young nicotine/tobacco researchers, as it would allow them to present their research and interact with leading colleagues in the field. Young trainees would have the opportunity to get exposed to translational science from bench to bedside to policy, providing cross-fertilization of knowledge across multiple research domains, as identified by the diversity of investigators being recruited for the working group. The events will aim to also share information regarding career and research opportunities for young and established investigators. Our goals are to discuss the following topics: I. Current research and funding sources for nicotine/tobacco research II. Gaps in our current knowledge related to nicotine dependence III. Most effective strategies in developing translational nicotine research and treatments IV. Future directions in nicotine research and our working group V. Collaborative grant projects VI.

Material examined
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Alabama • 20 isolated teeth; Claiborne Group; MSC 35773.1–8, MSC 37185, MSC 37912.1–2, MSC 38483.1–6, NJSM 24037, SC 2012.47.128, WSU 36, WSU CC 560.
Description
Taxon known in Alabama only from isolated teeth. Teeth measure up to 6.0 mm in greatest diameter. Teeth have an oval outline in occlusal view and have a convex occlusal surface. Teeth may also have a flat medial crown surface. Teeth have a thick enamel covering that is smooth and extends to the base of the crown. There is a large oval basal pulp cavity. The occlusal surface of worn teeth is punctate.
Remarks
Several species of Pycnodus have been reported from Paleogene strata, including P. variabilis Stromer, 1905b (also Stromer 1910); P. toliapicus Agassiz, 1843; and P. pellei Priem, 1902. In Alabama the taxon is known only from isolated teeth, and intraspecific variation within the dentitions of this genus is poorly known. This factor, coupled with our small sample size (n =20), precludes a more precise taxonomic assignment. Clayton et al. (2013: fig. 6i–j) illustrated a Pycnodus sp. tooth that was incorrectly identified as Albula sp. Based on our Claiborne Group sample, teeth of Pycnodus sp. can be differentiated from Albula in having a more convex occlusal surface, thicker enameloid covering, and large basal pulp cavity. Additionally, worn Pycnodus teeth are punctate. Inexplicably, Maisch et al. (2016) stated that their specimens of Albula sp. were similar to material from Alabama reported by Clayton et al. (2013: fig. 6ij), but the specimen specifically referred to, incorrectly identified as Albula, is actually Pycnodus sp. Additionally, the tooth shown by Clayton et al. (2013) is practically identical to the Pycnodus sp. tooth Maisch et al. (2016: fig. 2, 1–2) figured in their study.

description: The purpose of the Clearing the Air Institute is to expand the capacity of researchers, public health professionals and advocates to reduce secondhand smoke exposure through prevention, education, and dissemination of research findings. Trainers and ANRF staff will identify, cultivate, train, inspire, and connect the individuals and send them back to their communities where they will continue the work to improve public health by reducing secondhand smoke exposure. The Institute's activities and sessions are a core element in maintaining and expanding the movement, fostering a grassroots network across the country, and arming this network with the most current tobacco-related research. This unique opportunity gives participants an opportunity to reflect on the current status of smokefree protections across the nation, to brainstorm additional programmatic and research needs to expand these protections, and to provide on-the-ground practical examples and resources to succeed in tobacco control and ultimately, to reduce the number of people in the U.S. with cancer, heart disease, and respiratory ailments as a result of secondhand smoke exposure. The Clearing the Air Institute will directly address two of the above Research Priorities: Priority 1: 'Advance policies to reduce environmental exposure to the toxic effects of tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke residue, cigarette butts, and other tobacco products' and Priority 5, 'Advance the ability of communities throughout California to assess and limit the influence of the tobacco industry.' The Institute includes sessions and discussions dedicated to the advancement of policies to reduce environmental exposure to the toxic effects of tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke residue, cigarette butts, and other tobacco products, including newer products such as electronic cigarettes. The Institute is also committed to advancing the ability of communities throughout California to assess and limit the influence of the tobacco industry. This theme is interwoven throughout the conference agenda.

description: What happens when a person takes a puff on a cigarette? What changes in the brain when a person smokes repeatedly, for days or weeks? We study the basic neuroscience of nicotine addiction. Recent studies affirm that nicotine interacts with nicotine receptors on nerve cells in the brain; but studies also show that some effects of such chronic exposure take place due to nicotine-receptor interactions deep inside nerve cells. To understand nicotine addiction, and eventually to prevent addiction dependence, it is important to learn where these interactions take place, The concept of "inside-out" mechanisms in nicotine dependence will be studied with special detector proteins, which glow they bind nicotine. The project develops such detectors, then uses them to study nicotine within nerve cells.

 We expect the measurements developed in this project to take their place in various experiments on nicotinic drugs. First, the experiments can be directly used to ask whether additives, such as menthol, actually do change the nicotine in the compartment of interest.

 Second, we expect these measurements to take their place in the development of smoking and “vaping” cessation drugs such as antibodies and improved drugs of the varenicline class. These experiments will tell us whether improving on varenicline requires entry into the neurons; and if so, how much.

description: There is increasing recognition that the known adverse health consequences of exposure to cigarette smoke, including heart disease, are also shared by exposure to air pollution. Both cigarettes and air pollution are sources of toxic gases and fine particulate matter, and both increase adrenaline, a known trigger for heart attacks and sudden death. Both also increase inflammation, which leads to cholesterol build up in the arteries, called “atherosclerosis.” Relatively recently, a new source of emissions, the electronic(e)-cigarette, has been introduced, and is gaining unprecedented popularity, especially among young people. Although e-cigarettes are not cigarettes at all (no tobacco, no smoke), similar to tobacco cigarettes, they are a source of potentially toxic gases, small particles, and nicotine. It remains unknown if they too increase adrenaline, and inflammation, leading to increased risk of heart disease; these critical questions will be answered by the investigations in this proposal.

 Our overall goal is to determine if e-cigarettes have adverse cardiovascular effects. To date, e-cigarettes regulation the Food and Drug Administration has been controversial; the controversy stems from the paucity of scientific study and knowledge regarding the health effects of e-cigarettes. In the absence of scientific evidence, e-cigarettes are being touted as a safe alternative to tobacco cigarettes, and are in fact increasingly being used by non-smokers, highlighting the need for rigorous scientific study. Study aims include: 1) To determine if e-cigarettes generate increased oxidative stress, which is known to be harmful, 2) To assess the level of adrenaline in e-cigarette users, since increased adrenaline can be a risk factor for heart disease, and 3) To determine if the stiffness of the blood vessels is increased by e-cigarettes, since stiff blood vessels can be an early marker for cardiovascular disease. Knowledge gained from these studies will inform e-cigarette regulations, and provide information to the general public regarding the effects of e-cigarettes use.

description: The increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), calls for more grid-connected charging stations. Managing these stations, poses a complex problem that requires balancing station profitability, user preferences, grid needs, and stability. Finding the ideal charging schedule is difficult because it involves factors such as electricity prices, available renewable resources, the stored energy of other vehicles, as well as the unpredictability of EV arrival and departure times. This paper presents a multi-agent and distributed reinforcement learning framework, achieving high performance under various conditions. The charging spots make their own charging decisions independently, aiming to minimize costs, without exchanging any information. Numerical studies show that the proposed framework improves the scalability and the sample efficiency of DDPG algorithm, offering significantly better results compared to Rule-Based Controllers (RBCs) and other state-of-the-art RL algorithms.

Tentatively identified material. NORTH CAROLINA: Scotland Co., Laurinburg, St. Andrews University, 3.v.2017, em. 6.v.2018, T. S. Feldman, ex Dichanthelium, # CSE4503, CNC1144101–1144102 (2♀).
Hosts. Poaceae: Dichanthelium clandestinum (L.) Gould, D. * scoparium (Lam.) Gould, Glyceria canadensis (Michx.) Trin., G. striata (Lam.) Hitchc. (Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018).
Leaf mine. On Dichanthelium, eggs are inserted near the leaf margin, associated with a cluster of feeding punctures. The usually gregarious larvae initially mine along the margin toward the apex, then turn around and form a large, dirty whitish upper surface blotch with generally distributed, liquidy, greenish to brown frass. Concentric feeding lines are present in some mines. Mines on Glyceria may be on the lower leaf surface and the photographed examples do not have associated feeding punctures.
Puparium. Yellowish-brown to reddish-brown; formed outside the mine.
Phenology and voltinism. In Massachusetts, larvae feeding from late June to mid-July emerge as adults from mid-July to early August; larvae collected in mid-August yielded some adults in early September, with some females emerging the following spring (Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018). In Iowa, a larva found feeding in late July emerged as an adult about three weeks later. In North Carolina, larvae collected in early May did not emerge as adults until the following spring, whereas a larva collected in early June yielded an adult later that month.
Distribution. USA: *IA, MA, NC, TN.

Material examined. MASSACHUSETTS: Franklin Co., Northfield, 276 Old Wendell Rd., 26.x–1.xi.2017, em. 2–8.v.2018, C.S. Eiseman, ex Urtica dioica, # CSE4463, CNC1135695–1135702 (3♁ 5♀).
Photographed mines. IOWA: Linn Co., Cedar Rapids / ICNC, 6.xi.2011, J. Zito, Urtica dioica [vacated mine], BG 592789; MARYLAND: Harford Co., Susquehanna State Park, 28.v.2018, J. Emm, Urtica dioica, BG 1527598.
Host. Urticaceae: Urtica dioica L.
Leaf mine. A dark greenish linear-blotch, turning brown; following the leaf margin for several serrations and
then expanding away from it. The egg is often laid near the leaf margin but may be laid along a lateral vein away from the margin, in which case the initial linear portion meanders until reaching the margin. Frass is deposited in numerous irregular, dark lumps.
Puparium. Brown; formed outside the mine.
Phenology and voltinism. This species is bivoltine, with a summer pupal diapause and an exceptionally latefeeding fall generation. A photograph taken in Maryland shows an occupied mine on 28 May. A larva collected in Vermont in late June emerged as an adult in mid-October (Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018). Larvae of our new reared series were active in Massachusetts from late October into early November, and in Washington we found larvae feeding as late as 3 December 2018.

Material examined. MASSACHUSETTS: Franklin Co., Northfield, 276 Old Wendell Rd., 22.x.2017, em. 30.iv.2018, C.S. Eiseman, ex Urtica dioica, # CSE4459, CNC1144082 (1♀).
Host. Urticaceae: Urtica dioica L.
Leaf mine. Blackish, with paler greenish-brown patches only in the newest portions where the larvae are actively feeding; initially narrow and following the leaf margin, later expanding to a broad blotch. Frass is partly diffuse and partly in irregular lumps.
Puparium. Reddish-brown; formed outside the mine.
Phenology and voltinism. This species has at least two generations per year; it has not been observed to have a summer pupal diapause as observed in A. pseudoreptans, but there is evidently some variation in length of the pupal stage. Spencer (1969) listed a specimen emerging on 14 August from a larva collected on 5 June in Ontario, whereas Eiseman & Lonsdale (2018) listed specimens emerging on 21 July from larvae collected on 28 June in New York. The larvae from which our Massachusetts specimen was reared were found on 22 October, a few days before larvae of A. pseudoreptans appeared several meters away.
