Araecerus fasciculatus

description: Araecerus fasciculatus (DeGeer)
 Curculio fasciculatus DeGeer 1775: 276. Araecerus fasiculatus (DeGeer); Wolfrum 1929: 105.
 Description. Length (head excluded) 2.4–4.5mm. Body elongate. Integument light to dark red and black. Vestiture consisting of abundant, recumbent, grey to light brown or dark brown to nearly black setae; pronotal vestiture more intermixed and often darker medially on disc; setae of elytral interstriae light and dark, appearing as spots. Rostrum truncate, slightly prolonged apically. Eyes rounded. Pronotal width 1.5X length, widest at base, base broadly emarginate, sides conspicuously converging apically; transverse carina basal, acute, lateral carinae forming a 90° angle with transverse carina; shape convex, surface densely punctate. Elytral length 1.2X width, 1.8X pronotal length; striae weakly impressed, with shallow punctures; interstriae with abundant punctures that are smaller than those of striae. Sexual dimorphism present in pygidium and metathoracic sternum: pygidium of male vertical, evenly rounded apically, and pygidium of female inclined, oblique or pointed apically; metathoracic sternum of male with pale trichobothrial patch mesally.
 Diagnosis. Araecerus fasciculatus can be distinguished from other members of Araecerus by the larger size (2.4–4.5 mm, excluding head), upturned apex of the lateral prothoracic carina, curved, internally denticulate prothoracic tibiae, short, unusually broad prothoracic tarsomeres, and by the absence of elytral tubercles, crests, or carinae. It can be distinguished from other anthribids by having the antennae inserted on the head or anterior surface of the rostrum, rounded eyes with the upper margins not closer than the lower margins, elongate body, and by the extruded head.
 Natural history. This species has a cosmopolitan distribution but probably survives outdoors only in warmer climates. That said, its northern distributional limit is unknown (Valentine 1998). Larvae, pupae and adults have been found in the pith of corn (Zea mays) and they are able to cause stunted ears, with the most noticeable damage being on the joints (Tucker 1909). This species is a generalist and feeds on dozens of dried and/or living plant tissues, including nutmeg, dried fruits, potatoes, chocolate, coffee beans, corn stalks, dry decayed cotton balls, as well as berries of chinaberry trees (Tucker 1909). The adults also have been recorded to feign death for a short time when disturbed, as is commonly observed for other weevils (Tucker 1909).

Generalized chi-squared detector for LTI systems with non-Gaussian noise

description: Previously, we derived exact relationships between the properties of a linear time-invariant control system and properties of an anomaly detector that quantified the impact an attacker can have on the system if that attacker aims to remain stealthy to the detector. A necessary first step in this process is to be able to precisely tune the detector to a desired level of performance (false alarm rate) under normal operation, typically through the selection of a threshold parameter. To-date efforts have only considered Gaussian noises. Here we generalize the approach to tune a chi-squared anomaly detector for noises with non-Gaussian distributions. Our method leverages a Gaussian Mixture Model to represent the arbitrary noise distributions, which preserves analytic tractability and provides an informative interpretation in terms of a collection of chi-squared detectors and multiple Gaussian disturbances.

description: 1,2,3-Triazole compounds (1a–3a) and their oxime derivatives (1b–3b) were synthesized. The structures of these synthesized compounds were characterized using common spectroscopic methods. Crystal structures of the compounds 3, 2b and 3b were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The acetylcholinesteras (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) and DNA/calf serum albumin (BSA) binding properties of the compounds were examined. DNA binding studies have shown that compounds interact with DNA through 1,2,3-triazole and oxime groups. When the binding constant Kb values were compared, it was revealed that compound 3b (Kb = 4.6 × 105 M−1) with oxime in its structure binds more strongly than the others. In addition, in vitro BSA binding studies showed that compounds 1b and 3b exhibited higher binding affinity. These results confirm that the quenching is due to the formation of a compound resulting from the static quenching mechanism, rather than being initiated by a dynamic mechanism. Likewise, when the enzyme activity of the compounds was examined, the compounds exhibited high inhibitory activity against AChE. The highest activity was observed for compounds 2b and 3b (8.6 ± 0.05 and 4.8 ± 0.052 µM). It was observed that the compounds were not selective with respect to BChE.

description: Using the well-known ``displace, cut and reflect'' method used to generate disks from given solutions of Einstein field equations, we construct static disks made of perfect fluid based on vacuum Schwarzschild's solution in isotropic coordinates. The same method is applied to different exactsolutions to the Einstein'sequations that represent static spheres of perfect fluids. We construct several models of disks with axially symmetric perfect fluid halos. All disks have some common features: surface energy density and pressures decrease monotonically and rapidly with radius. As the ``cut'' parameter $a$ decreases, the disks become more relativistic, with surface energy density and pressure more concentrated near the center. Also regions of unstable circular orbits are more likely to appear for high relativistic disks. Parameters can be chosen so that the sound velocity in the fluid and the tangential velocity of test particles in circular motion are less then the velocity of light. This tangential velocity first increases with radius and reaches a maximum.

description: We demonstrate the generation of broad-band continuous-wave optical squeezing down to 200Hz using a below threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The squeezed state phase was controlled using a noise locking technique. We show that low frequency noise sources, such as seed noise, pump noise and detuning fluctuations, present in optical parametric amplifiers have negligible effect on squeezing produced by a below threshold OPO. This low frequency squeezing is ideal for improving the sensitivity of audio frequency measuring devices such as gravitational wave detectors.

description: COVID-19 is a highly infectious disease caused by a new type of extremely contagious coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. The virus’s main protease enzyme, SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, is essential for its replication and transcription processes. Targeting this enzyme presents a promising avenue for antiviral drug development. Researchers have explored the intricate three-dimensional configurations of the enzyme, analyzing its interactions with various inhibitors. These findings provide a foundation for designing specific and powerful inhibitors targeting SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Certain plants possess medicinal attributes due to the presence of bioactive compounds that inhibit pathogens. The olive tree (Olea europaea) has served as a source of food and medicine, containing bioactive compounds in its leaves that hinder the proliferation of various pathogens including viruses. This study explores the potential of bioactive compounds from olive leaf extract (OLE) to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. In-silico study was conducted to predict the pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles of these compounds. Molecular docking was utilized to assess their binding affinity to SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and their potential interference with its function. The top three compounds, apigenin (Api), luteolin-7-O-glucoside (Lut) and rutin (Rut), were chosen based on their favorable drug-like properties and strong binding affinities to Mpro. Detailed molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated the stability of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro in conjunction with these compounds, showing minimal structural alterations over the simulation period. Particularly, Lut and Rut formed bonds with critical amino acid residues His41 and Cys145 of Mpro, suggesting their potential inhibitory effect. These findings suggest that these compounds hold promise as natural drug candidates for combating COVID-19.

description: Image translation with convolutional neural networks has recently been used as an approach to multimodal change detection. Existing approaches train the networks by exploiting supervised information of the change areas, which, however, is not always available. A main challenge in the unsupervised problem setting is to avoid that change pixels affect the learning of the translation function. We propose two new network architectures trained with loss functions weighted by priors that reduce the impact of change pixels on the learning objective. The change prior is derived in an unsupervised fashion from relational pixel information captured by domain-specific affinity matrices. Specifically, we use the vertex degrees associated with an absolute affinity difference matrix and demonstrate their utility in combination with cycle consistency and adversarial training. The proposed neural networks are compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. Experiments conducted on three real datasets show the effectiveness of our methodology.

description: We study the effective potential of a scalar field based on the 5D gauged supergravity for the RS1 brane model in terms of the brane running method. The scalar couples to the brane such that the BPS conditions are satisfied for the bulk configuration. The resulting effective potential implies that the interbrane distance is undetermined in this case, and we need a small BPS breaking term on the brane to stabilize the interbrane distance at a finite length. We also discuss the relationship to the Goldberger-Wise model.

description: In the present paper, we investigate the power-law behaviour of the magnetic field spectra in the Earths magnetosheath region using Cluster spacecraft data under solar minimum condition. The power spectral density of the magnetic field data and spectral slopes at various frequencies are analysed. Propagation angle and compressibility are used to test the nature of turbulent fluctuations. The magnetic field spectra have the spectral slopes between -1.5 to 0 down to spatial scales of 20 ion gyroradius and show clear evidence of a transition to steeper spectra for small scales with a second power-law, having slopes between -2.6 to -1.8. At low frequencies, f_sc<0.3f_ci(where f_ci is ion gyro-frequency), propagation angle approximately 90 degrees to the mean magnetic field, B_0, and compressibility shows a broad distribution, 0.1 < R > 0.9. On the other hand at f_sc>10f_ci, the propagation angle exhibits a broad range between 30-90 degree while 'R' has a small variation: 0.2 < R > 0.5. We conjecture that at high frequencies, the perpendicularly propagating Alfven waves could partly explain the statistical analysis of spectra. To support our prediction of kinetic Alfven wave-dominated spectral slope behaviour at high frequency, we also present a theoretical model and simulate the magnetic field turbulence spectra due to the nonlinear evolution of kinetic Alfven waves. The present study also shows the analogy between the observational and simulated spectra.

description: Impairments in SC have been reported in people at Ultra-High Risk (UHR) of psychosis exclusively using neurocognitive tasks. The aims of this study are (1) to assess subjective experience of SC in adolescent and young adult community help-seekers identified through UHR criteria, (2) to explore significant associations of SC with psychopathology and functioning in UHR individuals; and (3) to monitor longitudinally the SC stability after a 2-year follow-up period. Methods: Participants (97 UHR, 141 First-Episode Psychosis [FEP], and 98 non-UHR/FEP), aged 13-35 years, completed the Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental States (CAARMS) and the GEOPTE scale of social cognition for psychosis. Within the UHR group, a multiple linear regression analysis (with GEOPTE scores as independent variables and CAARMS dimension subscores and treatment measures as dependent variables) was also performed across the 2-year longitudinal design. Results: In comparison with non-UHR/FEP, both UHR and FEP subjects showed significantly higher GEOPTE scores. Both after 12 and 24 months of follow-up, UHR individuals had a significant decrease in severity on GEOPTE SC subscore. In the UHR group, GEOPTE scores showed significant positive correlations with general psychopathology, positive and negative symptoms. Regression analysis showed a significant contribution of SC in predicting baseline social isolation, impaired role functioning, and general psychopathology. After 1 year of follow-up, improvement in SC was predicted by the number of psychotherapy sessions and lower doses of antipsychotics. Conclusions: SC deficits are prominent in UHR individuals and are similar in severity to those of FEP patients. However, they tend to decrease over time along with the delivery of targeted, specialized interventions for early psychosis.

description: This study examines the nutritional composition, phytochemical profiling, and antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory potential of a methanolic extract of Spilanthes filicaulis leaves (MESFL) via in vitro, ex vivo, and in silico studies. In vitro antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities were examined. In the ex vivo study, liver tissues were subjected to FeSO4-induced oxidative damage and treated with varying concentrations of MESFL. MESFL contains a reasonable amount of nitrogen-free extract, moisture, ash content, crude protein, and fat, with a lesser amount of crude fiber. According to GC–MS analysis, MESFL contains ten compounds, the most abundant of which are 13-octadecenal and Ar-tumerone. In this study, MESFL demonstrated anti-inflammatory activities via membrane stabilizing properties, proteinase inhibition, and inhibition of protein denaturation (IC50 = 72.75 ± 11.06 µg/mL). MESFL also strongly inhibited both α-amylase (IC50 = 307.02 ± 4.25 µg/mL) and α-glucosidase (IC50 = 215.51 ± 0.47 µg/mL) activities. Our findings also showed that FeSO4-induced tissue damage decreased the levels of GSH, SOD, and CAT activities while increasing the levels of MDA. In contrast, treatment with MESFL helped to restore these parameters to near-normal levels, which signifies that MESFL has great potential to address complications from oxidative stress. Furthermore, the in silico interaction of the GCMS-identified phytochemicals with the active sites of α-amylase and α-glucosidase via molecular and ensembled-based docking displayed strong binding affinities of Ar-tumerone and 4-hydroxy-3-methylacetophenone to α-amylase and α-glucosidase, respectively. Taken together, the biological activities of MESFL might be a result of the effects of these secondary metabolites.

description: We propose an efficient microwave-photonic modulator as a resource for stationary entangled microwave-optical fields and develop the theory for deterministic entanglement generation and quantum state transfer in multi-resonant electro-optic systems. The device is based on a single crystal whispering gallery mode resonator integrated into a 3D microwave cavity. The specific design relies on a new combination of thin-film technology and conventional machining that is optimized for the lowest dissipation rates in the microwave, optical and mechanical domains. We extract important device properties from finite element simulations and predict continuous variable entanglement generation rates on the order of a Mebit/s for optical pump powers of only a few tens of microwatt. We compare the quantum state transfer fidelities of coherent, squeezed and non-Gaussian cat-states for both teleportation and direct conversion protocols under realistic conditions. Combining the unique capabilities of circuit quantum electrodynamics with the resilience of fiber optic communication could facilitate long distance solid-state qubit networks, new methods for quantum signal synthesis, quantum key distribution, and quantum enhanced detection, as well as more power-efficient classical sensing and modulation.

description: Phyllanthus fraternus (PF), a plant from the Euphorbiaceae family, is used extensively in ayurvedic formulations for its significant medicinal properties. When PF is administered alongside conventional drugs, there could be potential herb-drug interactions between the active compounds and the genes involved in drug transport and metabolism. Hence, this study was designed to investigate potential herb-drug interactions, focusing on elucidating their functional and pharmacological mechanisms, using an integrated approach of metabolite profiling and network pharmacology. We utilized LC-MS to generate metabolite profiling of PF and network pharmacology for predicting key targets and pathways. This comprehensive analysis involved the construction of networks illustrating the relationships among compounds, targets, and pathways and the exploration of protein-protein interactions and protein-ligand interactions. In this study, a total of 79 compounds were identified in LC-MS, such as alkaloids, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, lignans, phenolic acids, tannins, terpenoids, and fatty acids. The identified compound’s physicochemical properties were predicted using SwissADME. Network analysis predicted 1076 PF-related genes and 1497 genes associated with drug transport and metabolism, identifying 417 overlapping genes, including 51 related to drug transport and metabolism. Based on the degree of interaction the hub targets like ABCB1, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 were identified. In the compound-target-pathway network, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethyl ethyl)-phenol; 5-Methoxy-N-[(5-Methylpyridin-2-yl) sulfonyl]-1h-Indole-2-Carboxamide; and E,E,Z-1,3,12-Nonadecatriene-5,14-diol possessed more interactions with the targets. This study helps identify bioactive compounds, essential targets, and pathways potentially implicated in these interactions, laying the foundation for future studies (in vitro and in vivo) to verify their potential to explore their clinical implications.

(Fig. 5–6)
 Choragus zimmermanni LeConte 1876: 408.
 Description. Length 1.2–1.3mm (head excluded). Body subcylindrical. Integument light brown to dark brown, without luster; antennae and legs yellow, slightly pubescent. Vestiture consisting of sparse, white to yellow setae. Rostrum flattened, short, dilated, subtruncate apically. Antennal segments 1–3 conical, 4–8 slender, 9–11 forming a loose, setaceous club. Eyes slightly convex, longer than wide, with about 10 rows of facets across. Pronotal width1.6X length, widest at base; surface densely punctate, finely reticulate. Elytral length 1.3X width, 2.0X pronotal length; striae with deep punctures, striae 9–10 complete and separate to elytral apex, 9 th stria angulate above metathoracic sternum; interstriae densely and coarsely granulate, interstria 10 swollen. Pretarsus with claws each possessing a basal tooth.
 Diagnosis. Choragus zimmermanni can be recognized by the elytra not having an extra group of punctures near interstria 10, interstria 10 swollen and 9 th stria angulate above the metathoracic sternum, straight pronotal carina, fine pronotal reticulum, granulate interstriae, and by the circular (instead of slit-like) floors of the elytral punctures. This species also tends to be smaller than most other Choragus species, usually around 1.3mm.
 Natural history. In general, members of Choragus are associated with pyrenomycete fungi in the families Xylariaceae and Diatrypaceae. This species has been collected from sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) in Florida (Blatchley and Leng 1916) and from basswood (Tilia americana) in Wisconsin.
 Phenology. In Wisconsin, adults of this species have been collected in July and August.
 Collecting methods. The seven specimens examined during this study came from three counties and represent a NEW STATE RECORD. Two specimens were collected in Malaise traps in a Fagus -Acer forest, two from Lindgren funnel traps, one from a flight-intercept trap, one by sweeping, and another by beating branches of live basswood (Tilia americana) in a dry-mesic southern forest.

description: To assess the real-world healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and obesity newly initiated on rivaroxaban or warfarin in the US. This retrospective study used IQVIA PharMetrics Plus data (01/2010–09/2019) to evaluate patients (≥18 years) with NVAF and obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) initiated on rivaroxaban or warfarin (on or after 01/2013). Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to adjust for confounding between cohorts. HRU and costs were assessed post-treatment initiation. Weighted cohorts were compared using Poisson regression models and cost differences, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and p values generated using non-parametric bootstrap procedures. After IPTW, 10,555 and 5,080 patients were initiated on rivaroxaban and warfarin, respectively (mean age: 59 years). At 12 months follow-up, the rivaroxaban cohort had lower all-cause HRU, including fewer hospitalizations (rate ratio [RR]: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.74, 0.87), emergency room visits (RR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.83, 0.97), and outpatient visits (RR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.69, 0.77; all p p Claims data may have contained inaccuracies and obesity was classified based on ICD diagnosis codes given that patient BMI values were not available. Rivaroxaban was associated with reduced HRU and costs compared to warfarin among NVAF patients with obesity in a real-world US setting.

description: Most species of mosquitoes are detritivores that feed on decaying plant and animal materials in their aquatic environment. Studies of several detritivorous mosquito species indicate that they host relatively low diversity communities of microbes that are acquired from the environment while feeding. Our recent results also indicate that detritivorous species require a living gut microbiota in order to grow beyond the first instar. Less well known is that some mosquitoes, including those belonging to the genus Toxorhynchites, are predators that feed on other species of mosquitoes and other nektonic prey. In this study, we asked whether predaceous Toxorhynchites amboinensis larvae still require living microbes in their gut in order to develop. Using the detritivorous mosquito Aedes aegypti as prey, we found that T. amboinensis larvae harbour bacterial communities that are highly similar to that of their prey. Functional assays showed that T. amboinensis first instars provided axenic (i.e. bacteria-free) prey failed to develop, while two bacterial species present in gnotobiotic (i.e. colonized by one or more known bacterial species) prey successfully colonized the T. amboinensis gut and rescued development. Axenic T. amboinensis larvae also displayed defects in growth consistent with previously identified roles for microbe-mediated gut hypoxia in nutrient acquisition and assimilation in A. aegypti. Collectively, these results support a conserved role for gut microbes in regulating the development of mosquitoes with different feeding strategies.

description: Heart failure hospitalization is a severe burden on healthcare. How to predict and therefore prevent readmission has been a significant challenge in outcomes research. To address this, we propose a deep learning approach to predict readmission from clinical notes. Unlike conventional methods that use structured data for prediction, we leverage the unstructured clinical notes to train deep learning models based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). We then use the trained models to classify and predict potentially high-risk admissions/patients. For evaluation, we trained CNNs using the discharge summary notes in the MIMIC III database. We also trained regular machine learning models based on random forest using the same datasets. The result shows that deep learning models outperform the regular models in prediction tasks. CNN method achieves a F1 score of 0.756 in general readmission prediction and 0.733 in 30-day readmission prediction, while random forest only achieves a F1 score of 0.674 and 0.656 respectively. We also propose a chi-square test based method to interpret key features associated with deep learning predicted readmissions. It reveals clinical insights about readmission embedded in the clinical notes. Collectively, our method can make the human evaluation process more efficient and potentially facilitate the reduction of readmission rates.

description: The purpose of this study is to evaluate agricultural producer response to opportunities to generate nutrient credits under Virginia’s water quality trading program. In 2005 the Virginia legislature passed legislation authorizing trade of nutrient reduction credits from nonpoint to new/expanding point source dischargers. A mathematical programming model of a typical commercial cash grain farm operation in the coastal plains of Virginia is constructed to model farmer credit supply response under the trading program. A corn, barley, and soybean crop rotation with the implementation of a no-tillage Best Management Practice (BMP), was the BMP used to maximize profits and generate nutrient credits for the model farm. Contrary to common assumptions that agricultural nonpoint source credits will be a low cost compliance option, the results show that the supply of credits is limited at modest credit prices and high nutrient credit prices will be necessary to induce additional farm level reductions.
