description: Hilltop抯 newly funded National Science Foundation (NSF) project on hospital pricing behavior is featured in a new article by State of Reform, an organization focused on conversations that bridge the gap between health care and the policy that governs it. Hilltop researchers Morgan Henderson, PhD, and Morgane Mouslim, DVM, ScM, will collect, clean, document, and synthesize a sample of pricing data posted by hospitals in response to a 2021 federal rule mandating that hospitals disclose previously confidential data on the prices they charge. The resulting data set and documentation will be made available to other researchers. Drs. Henderson and Mouslim will also conduct two studies on the relationship between payer mix and hospital pricing behavior.

description: Paracaropsis VOLGIN 1969
Review — Volgin (1969) erected Paracaropsis for two species of Acaropsis, viz. P. travisi (Baker, 1949) and P. strofi (Samši ˇnAEk, 1956). Summers and Price (1970) redescribed and reillustrated P. travisi from the type specimen; they showed that, unlike in the original illustrations, the posterior plate is present and setae sce, c2, d1-2, e1-2, and f1 are on minute platelets. Summers and Price also synonymized P. strofi with P. travisi; they gave no express reasons for this, though presumably based the synonymization on the presence of the posterior plate and setae on platelets in P. travisi and the fact that there were only two species known in the genus.

Measurements. See Table 6.
Remarks. Only the J2 of a Cactodera species was found from a zoysiagrass tee in Moore County, NC, and from a bermudagrass fairway in Florence County, SC. No cysts or white females were detected. The morphological characteristics of the J2 were similar to those of C. thornei, which was first described from the roots of Miner's lettuce (Montia perloliata) in California by Golden & Raski (1977). This species has been recorded from China (Peng & Vovlas 1994). However, the species found here could not be identified since no cysts were collected and DNA sequences for comparison are unavailable. This is the first record of the genus Cactodera from turfgrasses in NC and SC.

description: The five largest moons of Uranus, as well as Uranus itself, have mostly been studied through ground-based observations [e.g., 1]. Only Voyager 2 provided in situ measurements that significantly enhanced our understanding of the system [2,3]. As a ten-year launch window approaches, the scientific community has agreed on the importance of prioritizing a robotic mission to Uranus, proposing it as the next NASA flagship-class mission [4]. In response to this, NASA is reviewing the Uranus Orbiter and Probe (UOP) mission concept [5]. The concept was evaluated by the most recent Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey [4] as a low-risk, relatively low-cost, and high-reward mission. Upon arrival, the mission would deploy an atmospheric probe, settle into orbit around Uranus for 4.5 Earth years, and conduct flybys of several moons. A Radio Science (RS) experiment that includes multiple satellite flybys (in addition to the orbital phase around Uranus) can provide valuable information about the interior properties, formation, evolution, and potential habitability of the planetary bodies in the Uranian system, as previously demonstrated [6-7]. An RS experiment can answer key science questions regarding the internal structure and rock-to-ice ratios of the large satellites of Uranus, and help identifying significant internal heat sources or possible oceans.

description: [[Nanochromis Pellegrin]]
The genus Nanochromis was originally erected by Pellegrin (1904) for Nanochromis nudiceps (Boulenger, 1899), with the main character of an extremely elevated upper lateral line. In his revision of the genus Pelmatochromis, Thys van den Audenaerde (1968) suggested the inclusion of Nanochromis as a subgenus of Pelmatochromis sensu lato, for species within the genus with 12 scale rows around the caudal peduncle. Nanochromis was resurrected as a genus by Trewavas (1973, 1974). Roberts & Stewart (1976) characterized Nanochromis sensu stricto as having one half or more of the upper lateral line adjacent to the base of the dorsal fin, rather than separated from it by one or more rows of scales without tubules, and added four new species. Greenwood (1987) recognized two groups within the genus: a smaller group with the two species N. dimidatus and N. squamiceps, characterised by having about less than the half pored scales of the upper lateral-line contiguous with the dorsal-fin base, a completely scaled belly and nape, a partially scaled chest and cheek, and the presence of a single, reduced and comma-shaped supraneural bone. The second group contains all remaining species, characterised by the posterior half, or slightly more, of the upper lateral line contiguous with the dorsal-fin base, a naked nape, cheek and belly, and by the absence of a supraneural bone in most individuals.
In 1996 the German aquarist Rainer Sawatzky collected a Nanochromis in Congo (Brazzaville) near the city of Makoua which corresponded well to some other material from Congo (Brazzaville) and Gabon, deposited in MRAC and MNHN as well as with specimens presented in aquarist literature and which clearly was an undescribed species of the dimidiatus-group. It is the aim of this paper to describe this new species.

description: This study explores the connection between tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column density levels and asthma hospitalization cases in Louisiana from 2005 to 2020. Utilizing NO2 data from NASA抯 Ozone Measurement Instrument (OMI) aboard the Aura satellite, the research integrates these atmospheric measurements with socioeconomic data at the census tract level. This study employs a generalized linear mixed model (GLIMMIX) with a logit link and Beta distribution to analyze the relationship between seasonal NO2 levels and asthma hospitalization cases during winter, fall, spring, and summer. By analyzing OMI data, this research quantifies seasonal variations in NO2 levels and their corresponding impact on asthma hospitalizations. The findings reveal a relationship between NO2 levels and asthma hospitalizations, particularly in communities with high Black and/or low-income populations, with the strongest effects observed during winter. Specifically, the analysis shows that, for each unit increase in NO2 levels, the odds of asthma-related hospitalizations increase by approximately 26.3% (p < 0.0001), with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 23.3% to 29.5%. Assuming a causal link between NO2 and asthma, these findings suggest that reducing NO2 emissions could alleviate healthcare burdens associated with respiratory diseases such as asthma.

Extant genera of Protosmylinae are recorded from eastern Asia (Gryposmylus Krüger, 1913 and Heterosmylus Krüger, 1913) and South America (Paryphosmylus Krüger, 1913), but many fossil genera are recorded in Germany, USA, England, Kazakhstan and China (Wang et al. 2010). Species of Protosmylinae are characterized by the following features: antennae filiform; forewing generally strongly maculated, nygmata and pterostigma well defined, costal crossveins simple; Rs often with ten branches, slightly zigzagged; 2–3 rows of gradates series; radial sector with large and well defined cells; MP forked near from wing base; basal crossveins MP-CuP, forming a large free space in the wing base; Cu forked at wing base, CuA and CuP with some distal pectinate branches. Hindwing with short CuP and single branches (Wang et al. 2010).

description: Precision medicine in cancer treatment increasingly relies on advanced radiotherapies, such as proton beam radiotherapy, to enhance efficacy of the treatment. When the proton beam in this treatment interacts with patient matter, the excited nuclei may emit prompt gamma ray interactions that can be captured by a Compton camera. The image reconstruction from this captured data faces the issue of mischaracterizing the sequences of incoming scattering events, leading to excessive background noise. To address this problem, several machine learning models such as Feedfoward Neural Networks (FNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) were developed in PyTorch to properly characterize the scattering sequences on simulated datasets, including newly-created patient medium data, which were generated by using a pipeline comprised of the GEANT4 and Monte-Carlo Detector Effects (MCDE) softwares. These models were implemented using the novel 態ig-data REU Integrated Development and Experimentation� (BRIDE) platform, a modular pipeline that streamlines preprocessing, feature engineering, and model development and evaluation on parallelized GPU processors. Hyperparameter studies were done on the novel patient data as well as on water phantom datasets used during previous research. Patient data was more difficult than water phantom data to classify for both FNN and RNN models. FNN models had higher accuracy on patient medium data but lower accuracy on water phantom data when compared to RNN models. Previous results on several different datasets were reproduced on BRIDE and multiple new models achieved greater performance than in previous research.

description: Insecure land tenure plagues many developing and tropical regions, often where conservation concerns are highest. Conservation organizations have long focused on protected areas as tenure interventions, but are now thinking more comprehensively about whether and how to incorporate other land tenure strategies into their work, and how to more soundly ground such interventions on evidence of both conservation and human benefits. Through a review of the literature on land tenure security as it relates to conservation practice, predominantly in the tropics, we aim to help conservation practitioners consider and incorporate more appropriate land tenure security interventions into conservation strategies. We present a framework that identifies three common ways in which land tenure security can impact human and conservation outcomes, and suggest practical ways to distill tenure and tenure security issues for a given location. We conclude with steps for considering tenure security issues in the context of conservation projects and identify areas for future research.

description: Students today are facing information overload, contamination, and bloat from dubious sources: AI-generated content, masqueraded influencer opinions, context-less listicles, and consumer manipulation - frequently heralded by graphs and charts to bolster the argument. Because this information firehose presents as technical visual communications, the overload is both cognitive and perceptual, potentially causing more insidious misperceptions than text alone. In addition to consuming such media, students in computing fields work with data to produce graphs and charts themselves, including assignments, academic research, and personal projects/blog posts/tweets. Depending on visual literacy (VL) and prior data analysis instruction, many students inadvertently code misleading, unethical, or biased visualizations, potentially contributing to the dark corpus already festering online. Prior research on misconceptions in visualization pedagogy suggests students benefit from repeated opportunities to forage, curate and critique examples, discussing and debating with peers and instructors. Inspired by these findings, we incorporated a visual curation + annotation platform into a Data Visualization Computer Science course, enabling students to participate in processes of searching for and curating found examples of misleading visualizations, collaborative annotation + critique of examples, and structured self-evaluation of misleading elements in their own work. We assess our interventions with pre-/post-course Visualization Literacy Assessment Tests, qualitative evaluation of student reflections, taxonomic evaluation of formative student-produced visualizations, and post-course exit surveys. Post-course, students' VL increased significantly, and the number and severity of misleading visualizations they created decreased. Students also reflected that they gained increased confidence in spotting visual disinformation online, and in avoiding its creation in software.

description: Both rural and urban forests play an important role in terrestrial carbon cycling. Forest carbon stocks are typically estimated from models predicting the aboveground biomass (AGB) of trees. However, such models are often limited by insufficient data on tree mass, which generally requires felling and weighing parts of trees. In this study, thirty-one trees of both deciduous and evergreen species were destructively sampled in rural and urban forest conditions. Prior to felling, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data were used to estimate tree biomass based on volume estimates from quantitative structure models, combined with tree basic density estimates from disks sampled from stems and branches after scanning and felling trees, but also in combination with published basic density values. Reference woody AGB, main stem, and branch biomass were computed from destructive sampling. Trees were scanned in leaf-off conditions, except evergreen and some deciduous trees, to assess effects of a leaf-separation algorithm on TLS-based woody biomass estimates. We found strong agreement between TLS-based and reference woody AGB, main stem, and branch biomass values, using both measured and published basic densities to convert TLS-based volume to biomass, but use of published densities reduced accuracy. Correlations between TLS-based and reference branch biomass were stronger for urban trees, while correlations with stem mass were stronger for rural trees. TLS-based biomass estimates from leaf-off and leaf-removed point clouds strongly agreed with reference biomass data, showing the utility of the leaf-removal algorithm for enhancing AGB estimation.
