description: Anoplodactylus evelinae Marcus, 1940
Anoplodactylus (Labidodactylus) evelinae: Stock, 1954.
Anoplodactylus evelinae Marcus, 1940: 55, figure 4; Hedgpeth, 1948: 232, figure 31; Fage, 1949: 27-28, figure 3; Müller and Krapp, 2009: 93-94, figure 49.
Material examined: Bahia: (UFPB.PYC–170) 1 ♂ and 1 juvenile, Praia de Apuã, intertidal, 17 Apr. 2015, coll. R.A. Lucena, L.M. Falkenberg and J. Prata. Alagoas: (UFPB.PYC–128) 2 ♂ and 1 ♀, Praia de Peroba, intertidal, 13 Jun. 2014, coll. R.A. Lucena, J. Prata and J.P. de Araújo.
Diagnosis: Body small. Trunk segments 3 and 4 fused. Cuticulum with small tubercles. Segments 1 and 2 with a bifurcate median-dorsal tubercle, near posterior border of segment. Proboscis robust, of similar size to segment 1, and with small ventral tubercles near median line. Abdomen small, with a rounded tubercle at base. Fingers with small teeth. Legs short and robust. All articles of legs with small median and dorsal tubercles. Cement gland opening onto femur by a median-dorsal pore. Propodus with 1 spine on heel. Main claw two-thirds length of propodus. Auxiliary claws strongly reduced.
Distribution: Brazil (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and Alagoas), Colombia, Atlantic and Pacific Panama, Anguilla, Jamaica, Belize, Mexico, USA (Florida), Congo (Marcus, 1940; Sawaya, 1949; Müller, 1993; Müller and Krapp, 2009).
Depth: Up to 30 m deep.
Remarks: The species is clearly distinguished from the remaining species of the genus for having some rare characters, otherwise commonly found in the genus Pycnogonum (Ström, 1762): The short dorso-median tubercles on the trunk very rare or unique to this genus, abdomen inflated and extending horizontally from trunk, very short legs, with tibia as long as wide (Stock, 1979; Child, 2004), and propodus with very pronounced heel having a robust spine (Child, 1982b).
For Müller and Krapp (2009), A. evelinae is related to A. arescus du Bois-Reymond Marcus, 1959 and A. tarsalis Stock, 1968, for having a compact structure with similar tarsus and propodus. They may be distinguished by the cement gland, which in A. evelinae does not have a tubular opening.
Here we record this species for the first time in the Brazilian State of Alagoas.

description: Messages to extraterrestrial intelligence create a representation of all of humanity. Therefore, it is important to find out what average people want to tell ETI. My study investigates a set of anonymous audio messages to potential extraterrestrial intelligence recorded by German museum visitors in an exhibition about the universe. Recurring themes in the messages are explored: What kind of information do people share? Which questions do they ask ETI? The messages’ contents are compared to a timeline of political events during the exhibition period. It is analyzed whether the tone and topics change after the beginning of the war in Ukraine and include more calls for help and appeals to peace. The study holds important implications for the political dimensions of METI.

description: UiO66 is a MOF crystalline material with a hollow octahedral structure, formed by zirconium ions and terephthalic acid. Owing to its outstanding stability and adjustable pore size, UiO66 holds great potential in gas storage, separation, and catalytic reactions. In order to expand the application range of UiO66, two modified UiO66 materials, UiO66-NH2 and UiO66-(COOH)2, were prepared. UiO66-NH2 was modified via Post-Synthetic Modification (PSM) by changing the reaction conditions and adding different modifiers, successfully achieving surface functionalization of UiO66-NH2 to obtain UiO66-NH2-COOH material. UiO66-NH2-COOH and UiO66-(COOH)2 were loaded with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for catalyzing the reaction between H2O2 and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Via the results of UV-vis, it was found that UiO66-(COOH)2 loaded with HRP had better catalytic effects than only HRP. UiO66-NH2-COOH and UiO66-(COOH)2 materials were loaded with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). UiO66-(COOH)2 material catalyzed the reaction between H2O2 and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). In order to verify the influence of carboxyl groups on UiO66-NH2-COOH and UiO66-(COOH)2 materials, the adsorption of rhodamine B (RhB) was studied. The XRD pattern of UiO66-(COOH)2 material has no obvious characteristic peak, which indicates that it belongs to nanoparticle polymer.

Lectotype (designated here):— INDIA, Concan, s.d., N. A. Dalzell, s.n. (K000245684!).
Distribution:—Arabia, Indo-China, Pakistan and India (Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh).
Notes:—While describin g Ischaemum molle, Hooker (1896) cited two gatherings which were made by different collectors. In the search for its type specimens we found three sheets, two of them housed at K and one at CAL. The first sheet (K000245684!) was collected by Dalzell in Concan, India, without a precise locality. This sheet bears a label indicating “ Bombay herbarium” of the late N.A. Dalzell. The second sheet (K000245685!) was collected by Duthie in Chandrapur district, Maharashtra State and the third one (CAL0000002278!) is a duplicate of Duthie’s specimen.
We are convinced that Sir J.D. Hooker had seen the collections made by Dalzell and Duthie, but he did not mention regarding specific herbarium sheet in the protologue. The best specimen having illustration housed at K (K000245684!) is designated here as the lectotype for Ischaemum molle, which agrees well with the protologue. In addition, the other samples (K000245685 and CAL0000002278) constitute its syntypes.

description: This is Analytic 1 (of 3) of "Tracing Romina’s Growth In Reasoning And Sense-Making about Math Problems and Development of Beliefs about Math Teaching/Learning"This analytic traces the development of Romina’s problem-solving heuristics andexamines examples of her behaviors in collaborative settings from fourth and sixth grades.Specifically, we examine video data from February 6, 1992 when Romina was in 4 th grade andworking with a partner during her first exposure to the Towers Problem (generating allcombinations of “towers” 5-tall, selecting from 2 colors). Next, we see Romina as a 6 th graderworking with the same partner on an algebraic task of Guess My Rule. In both episodes wewatch Romina create models for her mathematical ideas as she questions herself and others. As explored in Steffero (2010), Romina’s questions in fourth grade consist primarily of asking for information or seeking verification of her mathematical ideas involving the possible towercombinations. In sixth grade, we again hear Romina’s questions along with her explanationsregarding slope and y-intercept for her partner.References Steffero, M. (2010).

description: Recent attention has focused on the efficacy of amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) for resolving deep evolutionary relationships. Here we show that AFLPs provide resolution of deep relationships within the family Percidae that are more consistent with previous morphological hypotheses than are relationships proposed by previous molecular analyses. Despite in silico predictions, we were able to resolve relatively ancient divergences, estimated at >25?MA. We show that the most distantly related species share the fewest fragments, but suggest that large data sets and extensive taxon sampling are sufficient to overcome this obstacle of the AFLP technique for deep divergences. We compare genetic distances estimated from mitochondrial DNA with those from AFLPs and contrast traditional PAUP* Nei朙i AFLP genetic distances with a recently proposed method utilizing the Dice equation with constraining nucleotides.

description: Astrocytes play a crucial role in maintaining brain homeostasis through functional gap junctions (GJs) primarily formed by connexin43 (Cx43). These GJs facilitate electrical and metabolic coupling between astrocytes, allowing the passage of ions, glucose, and metabolites. Dysregulation of Cx43 has been implicated in various pathologies, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acquired epilepsy. We previously identified a subset of atypical astrocytes after mild TBI that exhibit reduced Cx43 expression and coupling and are correlated with the development of spontaneous seizures. Given that mild TBI affects millions globally and can lead to long-term complications, including post-traumatic epilepsy, understanding the molecular events post-TBI is critical for developing therapeutic strategies.In the present study, we assessed the heterogeneity of Cx43 protein expression after mild TBI. In accordance with our previous findings, a subset of astrocytes lost Cx43 expression. As previously reported after TBI, we also found a significant increase in total Cx43 protein expression after mild TBI, predominantly in the soluble form, suggesting that while junctional Cx43 protein levels remained stable, hemichannels and cytoplasmic Cx43 were increased. We then investigated the phosphorylation of Cx43 at serine 368 after TBI, which is known to influence GJ assembly and function. Phosphorylation of Cx43 at serine 368 is elevated following TBI and Cx43S368A mutant mice, lacking this phosphorylation, exhibited reduced susceptibility to seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ). These findings suggest that TBI-induced Cx43 phosphorylation enhances seizure susceptibility, while inhibiting this modification presents a potential therapeutic avenue for mitigating neuronal hyperexcitability and seizure development.Significance statement Connexin43 (Cx43) is the main protein of astrocyte gap junctions, mediating astrocyte coupling of astrocytes into cellular networks, but has also other non-junctional functions. Many pathologies present with altered Cx43 regulation. In this study, we studied Cx43 alterations after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a mouse model. We found that while some astrocyte lost Cx43 expression, a subset of astrocytes experienced an increase in cytoplasmic and hemichannel Cx43. This increase correlated with an increase in phosphorylated Cx43 at serine 368. Cx43S368A mutant mice, lacking this phosphorylation, exhibited reduced susceptibility to seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ). These findings suggest that TBI-induced Cx43 phosphorylation enhances seizure susceptibility.

description: The generation of high-quality medical time series data is essential for advancing healthcare diagnostics and safeguarding patient privacy. Specifically, synthesizing realistic phonocardiogram (PCG) signals offers significant potential as a cost-effective and efficient tool for cardiac disease pre-screening. Despite its potential, the synthesis of PCG signals for this specific application received limited attention in research. In this study, we employ and compare three state-of-the-art generative models from different categories - WaveNet, DoppelGANger, and DiffWave - to generate high-quality PCG data. We use data from the George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge 2022. Our methods are evaluated using various metrics widely used in the previous literature in the domain of time series data generation, such as mean absolute error and maximum mean discrepancy. Our results demonstrate that the generated PCG data closely resembles the original datasets, indicating the effectiveness of our generative models in producing realistic synthetic PCG data. In our future work, we plan to incorporate this method into a data augmentation pipeline to synthesize abnormal PCG signals with heart murmurs, in order to address the current scarcity of abnormal data. We hope to improve the robustness and accuracy of diagnostic tools in cardiology, enhancing their effectiveness in detecting heart murmurs.

description: Under physiological conditions the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is required for regulating the passage of substances between the bloodstream and the brain. To date, disruption of the BBB has been associated with nearly all neurological diseases. Dye and tracer experiments have been used to assess BBB integrity for decades, yet quantitative assessment of these experiments has only recently been implemented. Further, interpretation of these results requires the consideration of tracer-specific properties. Here, we describe a protocol for evaluating BBB leakage using the small molecule cadaverine in quantitative way. We also cover advantages/disadvantages of using some reagents and highlight limitations in data interpretations based on assays used to assess BBB permeability.

description: Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, leaving survivors with profound mobility challenges that impact independent community ambulation. Evidence shows assistance at the hip during walking may be beneficial for stroke survivors. In this cross-over design study, we examine the impact of a novel hip exoskeleton on both functional and patient reported outcomes measuring speed, fall risk, gait symmetry, energy expenditure and perceived walking ability during both indoors and outdoors in single and serial counting dual task paradigms. Nine ambulatory stroke survivors with hemiplegia were included. No differences were seen between the exoskeleton and baseline conditions for any outcomes. Only the patient reported outcome in which subjects were asked to rate their ability to walk outdoors approached statistical significance (p = 0.051) with greater improvement reported for the exoskeleton condition. When asked to rate several key factors about the exoskeleton, weight and assistance emerged as primary perceived negative factors of the exoskeleton underscoring the need for improvements to the technology in this area. Despite lack of differences across groups, some individuals responded positively to the exoskeleton for several functional outcomes measured, highlighting the need for additional exploration into the use of personalized hip exoskeletons for post-stroke rehabilitation.

description: Proper blood-brain barrier (BBB) function is essential to maintain homeostasis keeping the central nervous system healthy. Disruption of the BBB has been described in nearly all neurological disease and injury contexts. Given the various physical and metabolic roles of the BBB and gliovascular unit (GVU), dysfunction should be assessed across multiple levels to pinpoint the exact nature of the impairment. Here we describe imaging techniques for evaluating various aspects of BBB and GVU integrity and function, tailored for use in mouse models with protocols for quantitative image analysis. These imaging techniques complement classical dye tracer experiments and reveal underlying molecular causes of BBB dysfunction.

description: Astrocytes respond to traumatic brain injury (TBI) with changes to their molecular make-up and cell biology, which results in changes in astrocyte function. These changes can be adaptive, initiating repair processes in the brain, or detrimental, causing secondary damage including neuronal death or abnormal neuronal activity. The response of astrocytes to TBI is often梑ut not always梐ccompanied by the upregulation of intermediate filaments, including glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin. Because GFAP is often upregulated in the context of nervous system disturbance, reactive astrogliosis is sometimes treated as an 揳ll-or-none� process. However, the extent of astrocytes' cellular, molecular, and physiological adjustments is not equal for each TBI type or even for each astrocyte within the same injured brain. Additionally, new research highlights that different neurological injuries and diseases result in entirely distinctive and sometimes divergent astrocyte changes. Thus, extrapolating findings on astrocyte biology from one pathological context to another is problematic. We summarize the current knowledge about astrocyte responses specific to TBI and point out open questions that the field should tackle to better understand how astrocytes shape TBI outcomes. We address the astrocyte response to focal versus diffuse TBI and heterogeneity of reactive astrocytes within the same brain, the role of intermediate filament upregulation, functional changes to astrocyte function including potassium and glutamate homeostasis, blood朾rain barrier maintenance and repair, metabolism, and reactive oxygen species detoxification, sex differences, and factors influencing astrocyte proliferation after TBI.

description: Mild TBI (mTBI), which affects 75% of TBI survivors or more than 50 million people worldwide each year, can lead to consequences including sleep disturbances, cognitive impairment, mood swings, and post-traumatic epilepsy in a subset of patients. To interrupt the progression of these comorbidities, identifying early pathological events is key. Recent studies have shown that microbleeds, caused by mechanical impact, persist for months after mTBI and are correlated to worse mTBI outcomes. However, the impact of mTBI-induced blood-brain barrier damage on neurons is yet to be revealed. We used a well-characterized mouse model of mTBI that presents with frequent and widespread but size-restricted damage to the blood-brain barrier to assess how neurons respond to exposure of blood-borne factors in this pathological context. We used immunohistochemistry and histology to assess the expression of neuronal proteins in excitatory and inhibitory neurons after mTBI. We observed that the expression of NeuN, Parvalbumin, and CamKII was lost within minutes in areas with blood-brain barrier disruption. Yet, the neurons remained alive and could be detected using a fluorescent Nissl staining even 6 months later. A similar phenotype was observed after exposure of neurons to blood-borne factors due to endothelial cell ablation in the absence of a mechanical impact, suggesting that entrance of blood-borne factors into the brain is sufficient to induce the neuronal atypical response. Changes in postsynaptic spines were observed indicative of functional changes. Thus, this study demonstrates That exposure of neurons to blood-borne factors causes a rapid and sustained loss of neuronal proteins and changes in spine morphology in the absence of neurodegeneration, a finding that is likely relevant to many neuropathologies.

description: This work evaluates the Diverse Books Project, a program of the Sherman Center for Early Learning in Urban Communities, through the analysis of archival data on teachers� program participation and anticipated use of the program resources (Study 1). We also gathered retrospective data on teachers� perception of the program抯 utility (Study 2) to help inform future iterations of the program and to provide guidance to other institutions or schools that aim to create similar programming. The Diverse Books Project was designed to provide teachers with access to multicultural children抯 books for their classroom libraries. The program delivered over 1,700 copies of books to more than 100 teachers. The data suggest teachers perceived important benefits from the program for both themselves and their students. Recommendations are provided for future program iterations and lessons learned are offered for institutions who aim to create similar community-school partnerships.

description: This project focuses on the design and implementation of an AHB to APB Bridge for efficient communication in System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. The Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) is used for high-speed operations, typically connecting processors and memory, while the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) is optimized for low-power, low-speed peripheral devices. The AHB to APB Bridge serves as an interface that converts complex, high-speed AHB transactions into simpler, single-cycle APB transactions, enabling seamless data transfer between fast components and slower peripherals. The bridge manages clock domain synchronization, transaction conversion, and flow control, ensuring compatibility between AHB's burst transfers and APB's non-pipelined protocol. Implemented in Verilog and simulated on FPGA using Xilinx Vivado, this bridge design provides a robust solution for integrating high-performance and low-power components within a single SoC. This project also evaluates the bridge's functionality and performance through testbenches covering various operational scenarios, validating its efficiency in handling diverse system requirements.

description: The study evaluated the efficacy and residual activity of SumiLarv 2MR, SumiLarv 0.5G, and Abate 1SG (used as a positive control) against Anopheles stephensi larvae in Awash Subath Kilo, Afar Regional State, Ethiopia, using a semi-field experimental setup. Plastic containers with capacities of 100L and 250L were used to assess the residual efficacy of SumiLarv 2MR. Specifically, four 100L containers were each treated with one disc of SumiLarv 2MR, compared to two untreated controls. Similarly, four 250L containers received one disc each, with two untreated controls. Additionally, eight 250L containers were treated with a half-dose to match one disc per 500L, alongside four untreated controls. For SumiLarv 0.5G and Abate 1SG, four 100L containers were treated with each larvicide, with two untreated controls for each. Each container received 20� third and fourth instar An. stephensi larvae. Observations of adult emergence were conducted until all pupae either emerged or died. Results showed that SumiLarv 2MR demonstrated a nine-month residual efficacy, SumiLarv 0.5G provided seven weeks of efficacy, and Abate 1SG showed a five-week efficacy. Additionally, SumiLarv 2MR discs retained nearly 50% of their initial pyriproxyfen content after nine months, suggesting potential for extended residual activity. This study highlights the long-term effectiveness of SumiLarv 2MR抯 as a larvicide against An. stephensi in Ethiopia.

Male. Sternite 5 (Figs 28–29) with a pair of short blunt medio-caudal emarginations, which bear broad processes of 11–12 long flat pegs each. Synsternite (Fig.30) as described under the genus. Figure 31 is to illustrate the whole epandrial complex with hypandrium and cercal parts and subepandrial sclerite. The fusion of the two halves is ventrally actually more broad, as given on the Figure 32. Surstylus (Fig. 35) with broad blunt apical part (in contrast to B. oligodentata). Basiphallus (Fig. 34) less robust, its epiphallus thicker than in B. oligodentata. Base of postgonite seems less strongly fused to ventral branch of connecting sclerite (Fig. 33), postgonite with a comparatively long sharp anterior apical process, caudal process also sharp in lateral view.
Female genitalia with round epiproct, which bears a pair of short thick setae (Fig. 36). Hypoproct (Fig. 37) subtriangular, its medial part more sclerotised, and a larger part than its apical half strongly sclerotised with short hairs, and bears a pair of long thick setae subapically. Cercus long (Fig. 36); with 3 pairs of long apical and subapical setae, apical seta tends to be incurved. Spermathecae (Fig. 38) longer than broad (contrary to B. oligodentata), with a narrowed proximal part, but sclerotised ducts are very similar to the other species with their distal bulb.
Etymology. The specific epithet of this new species (‘polydentata’ = numerous teeth) refers to the highnumbered (11–12 each) pegs on the pair of processes on male sternite 5.

description: Many real world networks exhibit edge heterogeneity with different pairs of nodes interacting with different intensities. Further, nodes with similar attributes tend to interact more with each other. Thus, in the presence of observed node attributes (covariates), it is of interest to understand the extent to which these covariates explain interactions between pairs of nodes and to suitably estimate the remaining structure due to unobserved factors. For example, in the study of international relations, the extent to which country-pair specific attributes such as the number of material/verbal conflicts and volume of trade explain military alliances between different countries can lead to valuable insights. We study the model where pairwise edge probabilities are given by the sum of a linear edge covariate term and a residual term to model the remaining heterogeneity from unobserved factors. We approach estimation of the model via profile least squares and show how it leads to a simple algorithm to estimate the linear covariate term and the residual structure that is truly latent in the presence of observed covariates. Our framework lends itself naturally to a bootstrap procedure which is used to draw inference on model parameters, such as to determine significance of the homophily parameter or covariates in explaining the underlying network structure. Application to four real network datasets and comparisons using simulated data illustrate the usefulness of our approach.
