Coil misalignment compensation techniques for wireless power transfer links in biomedical implants
Creators: name: Kong, Fanpeng
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Wireless power Transfer (WPT) technique, based on inductive links, has been admit-  ted as a promising solution for powering biomedical implants. Ensuring a stable power  delivery via inductive links in implants under all conditions, however, has been a chal-  lenging design problem. One of the issues that negatively impacts the performance  of wireless power transfer (WPT) links in implants, is the misalignment in the posi-  tion of the transmitter and receiver coils, which could naturally occur as a result of  body movement or changes in the biological environment. An immediate e ect of coil  misalignment is the change in coupling factor, resulting in the reduction of the power  delivered to the load at the receiver side.  In this work, we present a design concept that could be employed on the transmitter  side to mitigate this e ect while keeping the driver to work at its optimum operating  condition. Speci cally, we will demonstrate, analytically and through simulations, that  tuning the shunt capacitor and the supply voltage at the transmitter side could be a promising approach for compensating the performance degradation induced by coil misalignment in WPT links.
Sustainable transportation energy infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles

Year: 2015

description: Alternative Fuel vehicle (AFV) technology and supporting energy infrastructure will become very important as the United States moves towards oil independence and environmentally sustainable economy. The current vehicle fueling infrastructure is not capable of supporting AFV technologies, and there are substantial economic and technical challenges and barriers that must be overcome in the near future. It is expected that AFV technology will require a massive infrastructure redesign and reinvestment constrained on environmental sustainability, economic efficiency, safety, security, public policy and incentives, and consumer acceptance.  Hydrogen has the great potential to become one of the major energy carrier in the future energy system especially for fuel cell vehicles.  The objective of this dissertation is to address and solve these interconnected key problems: (1) how to design and plan a sustainable regional infrastructure for hydrogen fuel supply chain network under uncertain demand; and (2) in what capacity and location the infrastructure will need at the macro and micro levels.   We introduce a multi-period optimization model taking into account the stochasticity and the effect of uncertainty in hydrogen production, storage and usage in macro view (U.S. county level).We develop a spatially aggregated demand model to estimate the potential demand for fuel cell vehicles based on different household attributes such as income and education among others.   We propose a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) tool which finds the suitable locations for a hydrogen fueling station by considering factors such as land availability, air quality, and energy source availability.  The results are used to choose the optimal locations for the location allocation model by maximizing the customer demand coverage.   We also propose a location allocation model which identifies the optimal locations among suitable locations by maximizing the customer demand coverage based on the capacitated Maximal Covering Location Problem (MCLP). Also, the model captures the hydrogen demand uncertainty and measures the location risk of having hydrogen fuel shortage in future. In this dissertation we also propose a life cycle assessment (LCA) and economic assessment model to compare different waste to energy methods for transportation use.

For a good description and interpretation of the fossil, see Kawahara (2013).This author synonymized it with Barbarothea florissanti (see below) and placed it in the extant genus Libytheana (Nymphalidae), see description below. It was placed in the Pieridae by Brown (1976) (followed by Emmel et al. 1992), because of the unjustly supposed similarity with Leodonta. Subsequently, Braby et al. (2006) used the fossil as calibration point on the phylogenetic tree of the Pieridae as a close relative of the Catasticta group, if not the genus Leodonta.

Design of fractional-N frequency synthesizer for 2.4/5 GHz wireless local area network
Creators: name: Debnath, Subrata
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Frequency synthesizers are widely being used for generating local oscillators for majority of RF, wireless, communication, and navigation systems for the last few decades. Phase-locked-loops (PLL) on the other hand are one of the fundamental portions of any digital/mixed-signal devices in addition to the previously mentioned systems. In this thesis work, a PLL based fractional-N frequency synthesizer for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) in 0.18 μm CMOS-RF process has been proposed. With the adoption of a MASH 1-1-1 delta-sigma modulator facilitating fractional division ratios through a programmable divider, the frequency synthesizer differs from its integer-N counterpart in its higher reference frequency, wider loop bandwidth, faster settling time,  and better phase noise and suppression of spurious tones. The synthesizer consists of several blocks, including a wide range LC-tuned voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), divide by 16 – 252 programmable divider, dead-zone free phase-frequency detector (PFD), low mismatch high swing cascode charge pump (CP), 3rd order loop filter (LF), and a 3rd order MASH delta-sigma modulator (DSM)—all of which have been designed and constructed in both transistor and layout levels. SPICE (BSIM3) level simulations have been performed for all the individual blocks as well as  the complete frequency synthesizer for extracting transient, DC, periodic-steady-state, and phase-noise analyses results. Overall, with 1.2 V supply voltage, the 0.628 mm X 0.594 mm fractional-N frequency synthesizer achieves “locked” state in approximately 2 μs and produces approximately -111 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 MHz offset (excluding the MASH modulator) while consuming about 20.76 mW of power.
Re-presenting pasts

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: My dissertation is a study of digitally mediated, diasporic and intergenerational collective memories of the anti-Sikh violence of 1984. The violence unfolded in two separate but related events in June and November of that year. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with Sikhs in North America, and content analysis of websites about 1984, I show that even though community members in India suffered the losses of 1984, the Sikh diaspora is finding ways to represent these previously marginalized experiences. Public discourse on 1984 is caught between dichotomous narratives. The first consists of dominant state and mass media representations, which justified the violence, dismissed it as spontaneous “riots,” and blamed and shamed the Sikh community for its own victimhood. The state and mass media told a distorted story of Sikhs as “outsiders” in a “Hindu nation state.” The second set of voices comes from the resistance struggle for Khalistan, which was a counternarrative to the state, a mostly territorial movement, advocating militancy and violence. I argue that Sikhs in the diaspora are disrupting polarized narratives of the state and counternarratives that emerged from within the community, re-presenting memories of 1984 in and through digital media to form “crevices” in dominant, static and rigid “walls” of representations and popular counternarratives. Crevices are multi-layered experiential narratives that are a work-in-progress, an ongoing process of dissension defying the fixity and rigidity of dominant narratives. An intergenerational cohort of Sikhs in the diaspora are doing “memory work,” deliberate and conscious public practices of searching for fragments of painful pasts and piecing them together to give cultural meaning and shape to broken traumatic experiences.  My study addresses gaps in literature in two main ways: first, I examine heterogeneous voices within the Sikh community, narrated through more personalized, intimate and interactive medium of communication, digital media; and second, my dissertation is one of few studies examining a non-Western group’s construction and representation of trauma. I extend frameworks of collective memory and trauma to include Sikh-specific cultural apparatus in giving meaning to experiences of loss and suffering.

Help seeking in action : managing interaction and mental health on a crisis help line
Creators: name: DiDomenico, Stephen Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The primary purpose of this study is to better understand the communication processes of telephone help lines dedicated to crisis intervention and suicide prevention. Whereas prior research primarily considers these issues in terms of psychological predispositions and call outcomes, this study shows how many of the core considerations of crisis and suicide prevention are interactionally negotiated and managed. Callers and call takers are shown to utilize a range of interactional practices and actions in order to jointly construct and negotiate institutionally-relevant identities, stages of the call (e.g., opening, problem presentation, questioning), and larger institutional missions.    The study uses the methodology of Conversation Analysis to examine audio-recorded naturally-occurring calls made to a mid-size crisis call center, HelpNow (pseudonym), located in the northeastern United States. Several findings emerged from the study. First, in call openings, a set of institutionally-significant identity categories (first-time caller, repeat caller, and regular caller) were revealed to be established and managed through particular interactional practices. Second, a range of sequential environments and interactional practices through which callers present their focal problem on the crisis help line were documented. Third, call takers’ uptake of callers’ problem presentations via rising-intoned repetitions were analyzed and shown to fall short of their institutional job to pursue elaboration. Overall, the dissertation contributes to scholarship related to crisis intervention and suicide prevention, communication studies, and language and social interaction.

description: florissanti. Barbarothea florissanti Scudder, 1892
Nymphalidae: Libytheinae.
USA, Colorado, Florissant; late Priabonian, late Eocene.
Depository: Scudders' specimen is presumed lost (Shields 1985).
Published figures: Emmel et al. (1992: Fig. 1 /2).
Very similar to the fossil Prolibythea vagabunda and also placed in the subfamily Libytheinae (Nymphalidae) by Scudder (1892), followed by Emmel et al. (1992). Fairly well preserved. Antenna tricarinate (autapomorphy of Nymphalidae), club very gradual. Two legs visible, not reduced, possibly middle legs. Palpi, 2nd segment oblique; apical joint horizontal, only a little more than two-thirds the length of the 2nd (i.e., relatively longer than in most butterflies, but shorter than in any known member of the Libytheinae). Venation as in Prolibythea vagabunda Scudder that is plesiomorphic and not indicating relatedness. Hindwing relatively broad and rounded, costa concave, termen crenulate. Forewing slightly falcate. The long palpi agree with the Libytheinae, but apparently they had not yet reached the state found in extant members of the subfamily. Although the palpi of Libytheinae are relatively long, they are not unique, some other nymphalids having similarly long palpi and a similar venation as well (e.g. Eunica, a member of the Biblidinae). The apomorphic character states of the Libytheinae mentioned by Ackery et al. (1999) are not visible in the fossil, but the extension of the termen of the forewing at the end of M2 seems to occur in Libytheinae only as judged from the numerous venational diagrams in Schatz & Röber (1892). In other butterflies, if there is an extension (a tooth) it is at or just below M1. It is not clear why Scudder did not place it in Prolibythea, although he mentioned the similarity. See also the discussion by Kawahara (2013), who synonymized it with Oligodonta florissantensis and placed it in the extant genus Libytheana on the basis of an analysis of morphological characters. However, since apomorphies are not clear and the palpi are definitely shorter than in extant members of Libythea and Libytheana, I hesitate placing it in an extant genus and suggest that it should be placed at the stem node of the subfamily, if used for calibration purposes. See also under Prolibythea vagabunda.

Russia, Kraj Stavropol, Stavropol, N. Caucasus; late Miocene.
Depository: PIRAS (holotype, PIN 254/2753).
Published figures: Nekrutenko (1965: Fig. 4).
Fragment of hindwing only. Judging from Nekrutenko’s figure (1965: Fig 4) the cell is open, an apomorphy found (but not exclusively) in many Nymphalinae. However, the author considered the fossil congeneric with Vanessa atalanta (Linnaeus), Cynthia cardui (Linnaeus) (considered to belong to the genus Vanessa now), etc. (Nymphalinae), where the cell is closed, though the cross vein may be weak. Because of some proportional similarities, he suggested a close relationship with C. cardui, although he admitted that the material is not complete enough for a reliable identification. He described the fossil under the “nomen conditionalis”, Pyrameis fossilis, a term not recognized by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. I found different venational proportions in the species from those mentioned by Nekrutenko. The proportions may be variable and not a reliable guide for relationship. The venational arrangement as far as visible in the fossil is found in many extant nymphalines and it is of little help in establishing closer relationships. In view of the deficient useful characters in the fossil I wonder why Kozlov (1988) synonimized it with Vanessa amerindica Miller & Brown (see comments above).

The skeletal proteome and production of calcifying proteins in the stony coral Stylophora pistillata
Creators: name: Drake, Jeana Louise
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Coral biomineralization is important at the organismal, ecosystem, and global scales, yet the biological component has not been well understood. In particular, identities, roles, and environmental susceptibility of the proteins retained in coral skeleton were previously unknown. To address this, my thesis sequenced the first coral skeletal proteome, generated the first application of coral cell cultures to understanding the effects of ocean acidification on coral calcification at the cellular and molecular levels, and made the first use of NanoSIMS to test the co-localization of aspartic acid and newly formed aragonite in corals.  To determine the proteins directly involved in the coral biomineralization process, I used LC-MS/MS sequencing and a novel genome to sequence the skeletal proteome of the stony coral, Stylophora pistillata. It contains an assemblage of adhesion and structural proteins as well as two highly acidic proteins that constitute a novel coral SOM protein sub-family. I next used cluster analysis to compare mineralizing genes known from coral skeleton, mollusk shell, and sea urchin spines and tests. The analysis suggests that there are few sequence similarities across all three phyla, supporting the independent  iii  evolution of biomineralization. However, there are core sets of conserved motifs in all three phyla examined, including acidic proteins that appear to be responsible for the nucleation reaction as well as inhibition; structural and adhesion proteins that determine spatial patterning; and signaling proteins that modify enzymatic activities.  With the guidance of the sequenced coral skeletal proteome and the cluster analysis, I chose four proteins to focus on for their expression response to increased CO2, and their potential control on calcification, in cell cultures. The results suggest that compensatory molecular adjustments to deal with ocean acidification are successful only up to a point, beyond which these mechanisms cannot compete with local chemical conditions unfavorable to biomineralization. Finally, I used NanoSIMS and S. pistillata cell cultures to develop a method to co-localize highly acidic proteins and newly formed calcium carbonate. Initial results point to both intra- and extracellular roles for these proteins in transporting Ca to the calcification site and adhering cells to each other, substrate, and new mineral.

Physico-chemical properties of tristearin-oil blends
Creators: name: Du, Huixin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: In order to understand how the chemical structure of liquid oil influences the crystallization process of hardstock fats, a set of binary triglycerides systems were made of either tristearin with one medium chain triglycerides (MCT) or tristearin with one unsaturated triglyceride. The system is assessed in terms of microstructure, kinetics, and phase behavior using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized light microscopy (PLM), small deformation rheology and nuclear magnetic resonance (pNMR). For unsaturated triglycerides, irrespective of the dilution factor used, the mode of nucleation remained instantaneous, while for medium chain triglycerides the mode of nucleation changed from instantaneous to sporadic when the samples were diluted beyond 70% oil. The fractal dimension results also indicated that MCTs altered the crystal microstructure of tristearin differently than unsaturated triglycerides. The solubility curve further confirmed that the unsaturated oil blends obeyed ideal solubility while MCTs oils probably co-crystalized with tristearin and did not act as a simple dilution factor. The work from this thesis provide theoretical evidence that it is possible to manipulate the structure and thus the properties of hardstock fat by incorporating different types of oils.    On the other hand, the confinement effect of the solid fat also alters the micro-viscosity of the liquid oils embedded in the oil-fat blends. The micro-viscosity of the liquid oil in the system was measured by fluorescence spectroscopy using Citrus red (CR) 2 as a luminescent molecular rotor. The viscosity decreases as the solid content of tristearin decrease but the trends did not show strong correlations. On the other hand, a strong log-logistic correlation between box-counting fractal dimension and normalized intensity of CR is observed in high-space filling colloidal fat crystal networks. Based on these results, we suggest that the use of bulk oil viscosity to predict diffusion/oil migration in multi oil phase may not be appropriate.

description: This dissertation assesses the religious and political roles and interpretations of martyrdom in England during the years following the beheading of King Charles I, the climax of the English Revolution. It uses potential martyrs’ own statements and writings as well as published commentaries on their executions to expand our understanding of how a Christian framework of martyrdom could be used to advance various causes in a period of political upheaval. In this way it emphasizes the “contested” nature of martyrdom, which was always subject to debate. Previous studies of martyrdom during the Roman period as well as during the Protestant and Catholic Reformations have emphasized the role of dying for one’s beliefs in the broader development of Christianity. This project extends that field into the mid-seventeenth century, when professed Protestants of various stripes were executed for treason, an ostensibly political cause, by the evolving English State—whether Parliament, the Lord Protector, or the restored King Charles II. With a few exceptions, the condemned men were engaged in political intrigues against a particular government; but they usually characterized their deaths as religiously motivated, at least in part, thereby turning their deaths into martyrdoms, blood sacrifices for a greater good. In this way, they seized control of the official performance of ritual punishment, transforming the State’s intended message and instead defending and advancing their own causes. Their professions of faith had the further effect of sacralizing an otherwise secular cause: the structure of a civil government. The process unfolded similarly whether individuals died for the cause of the late King Charles I or in defense of the English Revolution, suggesting that the English understanding of martyrdom was adapting to political changes, as well as to the growing role of print media in disseminating political arguments. Martyrs’ own performances were reappropriated after their deaths, adopted for new causes by their successors, even causes that they would likely have rejected had they still been alive.

description: GPR55, an orphan GPCR, holds significance in the context of neurological disorders and its activation is important for regulating neurological responses. This has led us to uncover and explore a set of ligands which may act as potential agonists. We have predicted the GPR55 structural model followed by molecular docking, dynamics simulation studies, free energy landscape and MMPBSA analyses to study the dynamic nature of GPR55 in the presence of different ligands. We initially carried out structure-based virtual screening of a dataset from ChemDiv Database against the GPR55 model. Based on the docking results, it was observed that thiazole and triazole derivatives were present among the top hits and notably, two compounds – one thiazole (lead1) and one triazole (lead2) derivative were shortlisted. In addition, as we are working on the design, synthesis, structural and functional properties of several thiazole and triazole compounds, we have attempted to study the binding potential of two compounds SVS1 (thiazole derivative) and SVS2 (triazole derivative) with GPR55. The synthesis and structural aspects of SVS1 and SVS2 were previously reported by our team. Further, we have included a known agonist O-1602 in the present study for comparative analysis. All the compounds showed promising interactions with GPR55 during molecular dynamics simulations. Our findings suggest that lead1, lead2, SVS1 and SVS2 have the potential to serve as GPR55 agonists and the study throws light on the importance of thiazole and triazole moieties in the ligands. This offers a promising avenue for the development of new therapies for neurological disorders.

description: freyeri. Pierites freyeri Heer, 1849
Papilionoidea (?).
Croatia, Radoboj; early Miocene.
Depository: material probably lost, see Sohn et al. (2012) under Pontia freyeri.
Published figures: Scudder (1875: pl II, Figs 16, 18).
Original description and figure copied by Scudder (1875). Only one forewing present. Venation, particularly in apical part, hardly visible at all. Scudder placed this fossil in the recent genus Pontia (Pieridae: Pierinae) on the basis of obscure markings. He was followed by Kozlov (1988). However, I agree with Zeuner (1942) in considering the condition of the fossil too poor to make any reliable observations about its relationship.

Collective communication in congress
Creators: name: Dworkin, Benjamin A.

description: Caucus leaders in the House of Representatives are distinguished from other leaders by their roles as agents for the entire caucus.  Therefore, they seek to cater to the needs of their members, especially the prospects for individual reelection and collectively maintaining or attaining majority status.  The electoral priority relies, in large part, on building a strong party brand and that requires active leadership engagement as national messengers speaking on behalf of the entire congressional party.         Between 1981 and 2010, top leaders in the House dramatically expanded the time, resources, and personnel dedicated to promoting their collective partisan narratives in the national media.  Simultaneously, they navigated dramatic internal and exogenous change, including the aftereffects of 1970s reforms, the emergence of unique, ambitious leadership personalities, increasing sophistication in messaging technology, the changing media landscape, and a sharp rise in partisanship.  We know very little about how this transpired and under what conditions leaders were more or less successful in their quest to generate coverage.  This dissertation examines those questions while taking into account the current literature’s tendency to ignore differences between majority and minority leaders, Democrats and Republicans, and caucus leaders and anyone else with a leadership title.         By employing qualitative data from nineteen interviews with former communications staff members for top House leaders, and content analysis generated from 3,096 articles in the Washington Post and the New York Times, randomly selected from the thirty-year period, this dissertation finds that coverage of congressional leadership is largely driven by the power bias: reporters write about those who have the greatest ability to affect the final outcome in the House.  The majority party, therefore, consistently retains this advantage.         Further, quantitative analysis that operationalizes “media coverage” in five different ways produced very mixed results, indicating that past scholarship that relied on just one measure of coverage (e.g., mentions of leaders) may obscure a more complicated story.
The determinants of foreign funding to non-governmental organizations

description: In a leaked July 2014 Indian Intelligence Bureau (IIB) SECRET report titled Concerted efforts by select foreign funded NGO’s to ‘take down’ Indian development projects (Which devotes an entire section to “Anti Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) activism”) the IIB clearly expresses concern over the potential influence foreign funding can have on indigenous NGO’s.  This thesis analyzes a dataset of 719 Indian based NGO’s that are working in the biotechnology, agriculture, food, land and environment sectors in an effort to uncover the determinants of foreign funding.  It is proposed that this funding is not a result of mass altruism but rather a combination of economic and psychological factors which are comprised of determinants relating to utility and efficiency (economic factors) and determinants that are controllable and uncontrollable (psychological factors).  The objective of this thesis is to identify factors of an NGO which may help to explain successful foreign funding campaigns.  A Tobit model and Heckman Selection Two-Step model are developed for testing and comparison between the two.  Results indicate weak support for the notion that foreign funding is a result of economic and psychological determinants.

The teachers' dilemma

description: This dissertation examines two experiments in U.S. imperial education at the turn of the twentieth century by analyzing the role of teachers tasked with “civilizing” colonized peoples at home and abroad.  As the United States gained control over new territories—including American Indian and Filipino homelands—it developed policies to assimilate peoples resistant to its authority.  These policies framed the teachers’ dilemma.      Translating national policy into practice proved challenging.  Founded in 1879, white female faculty at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania—the nation’s first off-reservation boarding school—sought to acculturate Indian youth to norms of the dominant society.   These societal norms suggested that women were especially suited for the work of nurturing the young.  Twenty years later—after receiving the Philippine Islands as a bounty of the War of 1898—the U.S. government recruited primarily men to establish a U.S.-style school system in the islands.  Administrators perceived men as better equipped to withstand the rugged, isolated environment and take on leadership roles.  This study demonstrates that teachers’ racial assumptions—especially white superiority—shaped the work of cultural transformation more than gender.  Still, gender affected teachers’ experiences in other ways, including internal power dynamics, salary differentials, the formation of friendships, and marriages that shaped their lives in these intense, immersive environments.    A close analysis of teachers’ experiences and perspectives at Carlisle and in the Philippines exposes the fragility of U.S. endeavors to build an empire through the intimate spaces of schooling.  In both case studies, teachers’ personal and political needs often conflicted with the broader mission.  Some teachers challenged their supervisors’ authority or questioned the “benevolence” of their colleagues, countrymen, and national policy.  Other teachers navigated their role as cultural mediators boldly, if carefully, as they faced resistance from students and families.  Nearly all encountered death and disease, which periodically plagued the Indian boarding school and was ever-present in the Philippines where military and biological violence profoundly shaped teachers’ experiences.  Ultimately, despite such challenges, teachers demonstrated considerable agency at Carlisle and the Philippines, helping to shape generations of students as well as the U.S. empire and its legacy.

description: gabbroensis. Lycaenites gabbroensis Rebel, 1898
Lycaenidae.
Italy, Tuscany, Gabbro (near Pisa); late Miocene.
Depository: NHMW (holotype, 1898/0013/0005; counterpart holotype, 1898/0013/0006).
Published figures: Murata (1998: Fig. 37); Rebel (1898: Pl. I Figs 5, 7).
A very badly preserved small insect. As correctly stated by Rebel, the strongly bent subcosta (Rebel: costa) of the hindwing shows that it is a butterfly and not a broad-winged moth. For the rest of the hindwing venation is so faulty that I have little confidence in Rebel’s reconstruction (Pl. I Fig. 7), which, moreover, does not agree with his habitus drawing (Pl. I Fig. 5). Because of its size (forewing length 11 mm) and absence of a precostal vein (=humeral vein) in the hindwing, Rebel assigned the fossil to the Lycaenidae. In the description it is stated that a radial fork distally of the cell is visible in the forewing and prominent in the reconstructed wing venation, although not in the drawing of the habitus of the fossil. Consequently, the fossil cannot belong to the Hesperiidae. Moreover, the head is smaller than the thorax, which in Hesperiidae is only known from the strictly American Megathymus group (Hesperiinae), of which the extant species are much bigger and built much more heavily. Among further extant butterflies only Pieridae, in particular Eurema species, can approach consideration for an assignment in view of its small size. However, in Eurema M1 branches off the common stem of R3+R4 (see, e.g., Jeratthitikul et al. 2009), while in the reconstruction of Rebel, the origin of M1 is far apart from the origin of this common stem. The conclusion that the fossil apparently belongs to the Lycaenidae, is not very helpful in terms of divergence time of the family, since older fossils of the sister group, Riodinidae, are known and even assignable to extant genera.
