Macrobiotus richtersi

description: Macrobiotus richtersi Murray 1911
I have isolated 1,378 specimens and 678 eggs from all habitats studied. Cuticle is smooth, pores could not be distinguished in any of the specimens examined. Strong buccal armature in all but 5% of the samples analyzed, where the anterior band of teeth was weak and thus not easily visible. A strong posterior band of teeth is present and the transverse crest system is clearly visible in all specimens. I observed irregular margins on lunules in the fourth pair of legs; these could be old individuals according to Ramazzotti & Maucci (1983). Free-laid eggs had conic-shaped processes and reticulated surface. Inside several specimens I have found rotifers (from Belloidea), nematodes (from Dorylaiminal and Wilsonema species), and other tardigrades (from Hypsibiidae type: Hypsibius, Ramazzottius and/or Diphascon species). The body size range was 275 to 1914 μm, mean 889 μm (SD 331). The species is considered cosmopolitan (McInnes 1994). In the Iberian Peninsula, it has been recorded for Andorra (Lewin Osorio 1984; Maucci & Durante Pasa 1984), Portugal (Da Cunha 1948; Fontoura 1981; Maucci & Durante Pasa 1984, 1985), and Spain (Rodríguez Roda 1946, 1952; Lewin Osorio 1984; Maucci 1991), but it is the first record for Madrid (Table 2). Macrobiotus richtersi was collected from 54 sampling points (Table 3).

The anterior band of teeth was not detected in the buccal armature in any of the 488 specimens examined; probably it was so weak that it could not be seen by light microscopy (Bertolani & Rebecchi 1993). The posterior band of teeth was also faint (Bertolani & Rebecchi 1993) and could not be discerned in many specimens. Lunules in the fourth pair of legs of some specimens showed irregular margins, possibly due to small size of the teeth, preventing their observation. A total of 103 eggs were examined, all of them belonging to type 2 morphology described by Bertolani and Rebecchi (1993). Three out of 17 sampling points (sampling sites 31, 37, and 52; Table 3) did not have eggs so they have to be referred to as Macrobiotus cf. sandrae. However, all specimens had identical animal morphology. Mean body size was 702 μm (SD 209), range 252 to 1375 μm. The species has been cited for Europe and Asia. This is the first record for the Iberian Peninsula (Table 2). Macrobiotus sandrae was observed at 17 sampling points (Table 3) in all habitats analyzed.

The seven specimens were found in LF sample and animal morphologies corresponded to Ramazzotti and Maucci (1983) descriptions. Smooth cuticle had no pores. I observed a buccal armature comprised of a transverse crest system. Two rod-shaped macroplacoids and a microplacoid were present within the pharyngeal bulb. Angle between main branch and secondary branch of double-claws is a right angle. Large lunules in all double-claws, smooth in at the first three pairs of legs and dentated in the fourth pair. Mean body size was 888 μm (SD 289), range 550 to 1210 μm. The species has been cited for Europe and America, but it is the first time it is recorded for the Iberian Peninsula (Table 2). Here, Macrobiotus cf. tenuis was found only at one sampling point (Table 3).

description: The NJ Harbor Dischargers Group (NJHDG) is made up of nine (9) sewerage agencies, representing eleven (11) wastewater treatment plants in northeastern New Jersey that discharge treated effluents into the New Jersey (NJ) portion of the New York/New Jersey (NY/NJ) Harbor Estuary. The Long-Term Ambient Water Quality Monitoring Program is building a comprehensive database for conventional chemical water quality parameters on the existing water quality of the NY/NJ Harbor, by routinely and extensively sampling the waters of the Passaic River, Hackensack River, Newark Bay, Arthur Kill, Raritan River, Raritan Bay, and the Hudson River. It serves to eliminate the data gap for NJ waters of the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary system by monitoring waterbodies that are not currently monitored by other agencies. The NJHDG program monitors thirty-three (33) locations throughout the region for a list of conventional chemical water quality parameters.  To date, the NJHDG has gathered six (6) years of high quality data from the NJ Harbor waters.

description: Tipikor Indonesia, terutama Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Pemberantasan Tipikor, mengatur gratifikasi sebagai salah satu jenisnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dasar hukum tindak pidana gratifikasi di Indonesia serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang menghambat proses penegakan hukum terkait gratifikasi dengan menerapkan sistem pembuktian terbalik. Penelitian hukum normatif deskriptif digunakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier adalah sumber data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gratifikasi dapat didefinisikan sebagai semua jenis pemberian, termasuk uang, barang, diskon, komisi, pinjaman tanpa bunga, tiket perjalanan, fasilitas penginapan, perjalanan wisata, pengobatan gratis, dan fasilitas lainnya. Jika gratifikasi yang diterima oleh pegawai negeri atau penyelenggara negara berkaitan dengan jabatan mereka dan bertentangan dengan kewajiban atau tugas mereka, hal itu dapat dianggap sebagai suap. Studi ini menemukan bahwa meskipun ada landasan yang kuat untuk menerapkan hukum positif terkait gratifikasi di Indonesia, masih ada beberapa hambatan dalam penegakan hukum, seperti pemahaman masyarakat yang buruk tentang gratifikasi dan adanya dualisme antara gratifikasi dan hibah. Diharapkan bahwa penelitian ini akan membantu perkembangan ilmu hukum dan mendukung upaya pemberantasan korupsi di Indonesia.

description: Macrobiotus terminalis Bertolani & Rebecchi 1993
A total of 1,393 specimens and 207 eggs (only 9 out of 40 sampling sites without eggs: 1, 3, 7, 8, 11, 19, 20, 24, and 59, which have to be referred to as Macrobiotus cf. terminalis, although the animal’s morphology was exactly the same in all specimens studied; Table 3) were identified as Macrobiotus terminalis, from all habitats examined. No anterior band of teeth, but evident posterior band of teeth and transverse crest system (long dorsal crest and short ventral crest). Double-claws were hufelandi- type, the fourth pair of legs with bigger lunules with large teeth, also present but smaller in lunules in the other legs. Two types of eggs ascribed to Macrobiotus terminalis were observed. Egg morphology varied accordingly to density and size of pores on the egg surface between processes (inverted calyx shapes). One of these morphologies is the type 3 described by Bertolani & Rebecchi (1993), and had similar sized pores uniformly and not densely distributed. The other morphology correspond with type 4 (referred as Macrobiotus cf. terminalis by authors (Bertolani & Rebecchi 1993)), with pores more densely distributed and with different sizes between the processes. The body size range was 253 to 1540 μm, mean 689 μm (SD 179). This species has been cited only for Europe, including Spain (Guil, 2002). Macrobiotus terminalis was collected at 40 sampling points (Table 3).

Measurement of the axial dispersion coefficient of cohesive powders in rotary kilns
Creators: name: Paredes, Ingrid Joylyn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: While continuous rotary calcination is a widely used thermal treatment in large-scale catalyst manufacturing, fundamental understanding of the process is absent from scientific literature. Thus, the goal of this research is to improve fundamental understanding of rotary calcination processes to aid in scale-up. For successful calcination to occur, the residence time of the particles must exceed the time required for heating and calcination. The optimal residence time therefore depends on both of these competing time scales, which are functions of feed material properties, kiln geometry and kiln operating conditions. For uniform treatment of the feed, the particles must also exhibit low axial dispersion. In this work, the residence time distribution and axial dispersion coefficient for two cohesive fluid cracking catalyst powders were measured in pilot plant kilns using a tracer study developed by Danckwerts. Results were successfully matched to the Taylor fit of the axial dispersion model and the Sullivan prediction for mean residence time. It was found that an increase in feed rate, kiln incline and rotary speed decreased mean residence time and overall dispersion. The axial dispersion coefficient was found to vary with kiln conditions. Such results have not been previously reported for the cohesive powders such as the ones used in our work.

Type localities. Physonota atomaria: ‘Brasilia’; P. dubia: ‘Brasilia’; P. seriata: ‘Brasilia’.

Remarks. BOHEMAN (1854) described Physonota atomaria based on communication with the Berlin Museum (ZMHB) and placed it among species with oval body and convex elytra. SPAETH (1913) transferred it to a newly proposed genus Anacassis Spaeth, 1913 and later on SPAETH (1923) to Eutheria Spaeth, 1909. Both transfers were probably made based on primary description only as Spaeth did not give any further comments. I have studied the single specimen in ZMHB considered as holotype by monotypy and in my opinion it is conspecific with Anacassis dubia (Boheman, 1854) as all characters are the same except of the shape of body. On this occasion I have also studied the type of P. seriata synonymized by SPAETH (1913) with A. dubia. The two latter taxa were described from females, which have a more or less subtriangular body while P. atomaria was based on a male specimen with an oval body. Since P. atomaria and P. dubia were described in the same publication I followed the Principle of the first reviser (ICZN 1999: Article 24.2) and chose the name P. dubia as valid because it is widely known and was previously correctly applied.
Anacassis dubia is easily recognized from other species of Anacassis by the irregularly convex elytra with distinct postscutellar hump, pronotum with black medial stripe and elytra with numerous black specks.

Poecilaspis planipennis: SYNTYPES (MMUE). [Examined but label data not recorded].
Remarks. Botanochara invasa was an enigmatic taxon and SPAETH (1940) suggested that it is a hybrid between B. octoplagiata (Spaeth, 1909) and B. macularia (Boheman, 1850) or B. tesselata (Burmeister, 1870) and BOROWIEC (1999a) listed it as synonym of B. octoplagiata. BOHEMAN (1850) described this taxon from the collection of L. Reiche and did not state how many specimens he had at disposal. Types of taxa described by Boheman from the collection of Reiche are quite difficult to trace but numerous type specimens are present in the BMNH and came to the museum via collection of Hamlet Clark. I have found a single specimen in BMNH and because existence of others is possible I designate lectotype from this specimen to conserve its status for purpose of synonymy.
SPAETHʼs (1940) assumption that B. invasa is a hybrid was most likely based only on the primary description as the taxon is distinct and in fact conspecific with his B. planipennis as both have identical punctation of elytra and shape of body. Therefore I synonymize the latter with B. invasa. It is one of the two species with flattened disc of elytra and characteristic coarse but quite sparsely arranged punctation of elytra. Botanochara boliviaca differs in coarser punctation of elytra, the interspaces within the groups of punctures much narrower than puncture diameter, and by humeral angles in males broadly rounded, while B. invasa has interspaces within groups wider than puncture diameter and humeral angles in males somewhat oblique.
Distribution. Argentina: Catamarca, Salta and Tucumán (SPAETH 1940, BOROWIEC 1996, 2002, 2009c), Bolivia (BOHEMAN 1850).

We have identified 167 specimens and three eggs (in three out of 15 sampling points). Cuticle had round, elliptical, triangular and/or quadrangular-shaped big pores, which are distributed in transversal bands all over the body, including the external side of the legs. Three round-shaped macroplacoids and a microplacoid were within the pharyngeal bulb. Double-claws were of the hufelandi type. Large common tract, and small lunules, smooth in the first three pairs of legs and dentated in the fourth pairs of legs. Freely-laid eggs, long coneshaped processes and dots over egg surface, between the processes. I observed ocular spots in 87% of animals studied, 10% lacked these structures, and in 3% of specimens it was not possible to determine their presence or absence. Mean body size was 555 μm (SD 111), range 275 to 902 μm. The species has been cited for Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Antarctica. In the Iberian Peninsula, it has been recorded for Portugal (Da Cunha 1941, 1944a; Fontoura 1981; Maucci & Durante Pasa 1984, 1985), and for Spain (Maucci & Durante Pasa 1984), but it is the first record for Madrid (Table 2). Minibiotus furcatus appeared at 15 sampling points (Table 3), distributed in all habitats examined.

Description (amendments; see Huber 2000). Tibia 1 in 13 newly examined males: 9.9–12.4 (mean 11.1); in six females: 6.4–7.9 (mean 7.3). Diameters femora 1–4 in large male: 0.24, 0.28, 0.29, 0.27. Most males with curved hairs dorsally on tibiae 1 and 4, sometimes also ventrally on tibiae 1, rarely also on femora 1 and 4. Coloration sexually dimorphic: males with orange prosoma, females with pale ochre prosoma with brown marks (Figs 557, 559). Prolateral trichobothrium present on tibia 1. Specimens from Amapá assigned tentatively because pattern of modified hairs on male chelicerae differs slightly (group of ~6 hairs proximally, similar to specimens collected by F.O. Cambridge in Santarém, Breves, and along the “Lower Amazon”; see Huber 2000).
Natural history. The spiders were mostly found in strongly domed, relatively small webs (compared to body size and leg length) among low vegetation close to the ground, exposed rather than hidden in sheltered spaces; juveniles were sometimes found at up to 1 m above ground level. Webs often appeared unusually ‘dirty’, and consistently had a second, flat sheet of silk under the domed main sheet. One female with egg-sac occupied a globular web of only about 6 cm diameter.
Distribution. Widely distributed between Manaus and Belém along the Lower Amazon (Brazil) (Fig. 741), possibly also in Guyana (see Huber 2000).

description: Minibiotus gumersindoi Guil & Guidetti 2005
Large, round pores in transverse rows and larger round-shaped cuticular pores over the double-claws differentiated this species from any other Minibiotus species. Three round-shaped macroplacoids and microplacoid were within the pharyngeal bulb. Double-claws were of hufelandi type. Small and smooth lunules on all double-claws. Two animals had ocular spots, four lacked these structures, and in two it was not possible to determine their presence or absence. Body size range, among eight specimens found in LF and MR samples, was 153 to 212 μm; mean 155 μm (SD 37). Minibiotus gumersindoi was found at four sampling points (Table 3).

Environmental effects of road design
Creators: name: Oettinger, Ellen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This study investigates the relationship between road characteristics and the surrounding landscapes, using as a framework for analysis the history of construction methods and landscape architecture’s once prominent role in road design. This research seeks to expand the scale of focus from the species-level, typical of much road ecology scholarship, to a regional, road network-scale analysis.    As roads were constructed in the United States in the early decades of the 20th century, design guidelines and safety regulations did not yet exist, resulting in demonstrably different shapes and forms of roads. Since then, many roads have been widened and straightened, but original alignments remain part of many of our federal and state highways. This research seeks to answer the question: Are the different construction methods preserved in the patterns and composition of the surrounding landscapes, and in the shapes of the roads themselves? Is the role of the landscape architect in road design visible in the road network patterns of the landscape? Can these differences be measured?    Using tools from the field of landscape ecology to study the Appalachian region of North Carolina, this study found that among five road categories—interstates, US highways, state highways, secondary routes, and federal parkways—measureable differences in land cover, terrain, and road form are present. A spatial regression in ArcGIS explored the strength of relationships between road characteristics such as sinuosity, elevation change, traffic count, road width, and other variables and land cover present within three different distances from the roads. A visual assessment of one road from each of the five categories was also conducted to test assumptions about road type and to compare to the road characteristics database.

The effect of EPS geofoam backfill on the seismic performance of integral abutment bridges
Creators: name: Ooms, Megan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This study was performed to investigate the seismic response of Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) with Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) geofoam backfill in comparison to IABs with compacted backfill as well as typical jointed bridges.  Three-dimensional Finite Element (FE) models of an existing bridge were developed and analyzed using the 1000-year seismic event according to the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD).  Results from existing information were used to determine soil characteristics and site class at the bridge location.  Frame elements were utilized to model the piles, girders and diaphragms.  Abutments and deck sections were modeled using shell elements to capture the effect of the connection to the girders.  Nonlinear soil springs were used to model soil elements according to the Federal Highway Administration Seismic Retrofitting manual.  The study shows that the use of EPS has major effects on the seismic performance of IABs.  These effects include increasing the fundamental period of the bridge and reducing the forces in the superstructure as well as the integral abutments.    This combination of EPS geofoam backfill and integral abutments provides the benefits of reduced number of joints and bearings, which is highly desirable as it provides reduced maintenance and inspection costs as well as reduced repair costs.  It also provides a potential for reduced initial construction costs over integral abutments with compacted backfill as the design forces in the abutments are lower; therefore smaller sections and less reinforcement would be required, although the material and installation costs of EPS geofoam can offset that cost savings.

Acquiring obligatory and variable mood selection
Creators: name: Perez-Cortes, Silvia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation examines Spanish heritage speakers (HS) and second language (L2) learners’ acquisition of obligatory and variable mood selection in two complement clauses: desideratives and reported speech contexts. Previous studies have reported this area of language to be particularly troublesome for early and late Spanish/English bilinguals, especially in variable contexts (Borgonovo, Bruhn de Garavito & Prévost, 2008; Collentine, 1993; Iverson, Kempchinsky & Rothman, 2008; Montrul, 2007, 2009, 2011; Pascual y Cabo, Lingwall and Rothman, 2012; Silva-Corvalán, 1994; Torres, 1989; inter alia). These investigations, however, have focused on structures that belonged to different modalities, comparing obligatory selection in deontic predicates with alternations in epistemic and epistemological contexts.  This study interviewed 137 participants (HS: N=69; L2ers: N=68) with different proficiency levels using four experimental tasks: a truth-value judgment, two production tasks (written and oral), and an acceptability judgment task. Results show that mastery of mood selection is dependent on the interplay between participants’ level of proficiency, age of onset and frequency of Spanish use. Highly proficient bilinguals tended to be more accurate in their performance, while those with lower command of the language displayed more variability. Differences in age of exposure and frequency of activation appeared at intermediate levels of proficiency, where HS outperformed their L2 peers in the interpretation and production of subjunctive in reported speech contexts. It is argued that earlier onset of acquisition and active use of Spanish favored the attainment of these structures. In general, the results suggest that the potential effects of vulnerability expected to emerge in mood alternations, appear to be minimized when propositional modality is controlled for.  This dissertation contributes to the fields of L2 and heritage language acquisition in two ways. First, the comparison of these groups reveals contrasts at the interpretive and productive level, furthering our understanding on how differences in age of onset and exposure modulate bilinguals’ linguistic outcomes. Second, the analysis of mood within deontic predicates also suggest that the source of morphological variability in these constructions is not the obligatoriness of the selection (as argued by Montrul, 2007, 2009) but the type of modality expressed by the predicate under evaluation.

description: Chelymorpha cruxnigra Boheman, 1862 stat. restit.
Chelymorpha crux-nigra Boheman, 1862: 218 (original description).
Type locality. ‘Mexico’.
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: ♀, pinned, ‘Type [w, p, s, c, rf] || E. Coll | Chevt. [w, p, cb] || cruxnigra | Chev amiat | D turaté [w, hw, s] || 67·56 [w, p, s]’ (BMNH).
Remarks. SPAETH (1909a) considered Chelymorpha cruxnigra as a variety of Ogdoecosta juvenca (Boheman, 1854) and since then it was considered a synonym of the latter species (see BOROWIEC 1999a). Spaeth did so probably based on the primary description as BOHEMAN (1862) compared C. cruxnigra to O. juvenca. Boheman attributed the description of C. cruxnigra to Chevrolat and mentioned his collection also as the type depository. Based on the description I assume that there was only a single specimen of this species used for its description. The holotype of C. cruxnigra certainly belongs to Chelymorpha as it has venter of pronotum with antennal grooves along head externally bordered by a sharp carina. Therefore I remove this taxon from synonymy of O. juvenca and restore its species status in Chelymorpha.
It is questionable whether the type locality is correct because so far it is the only specimen of such appearance from Mexico and other species occurring there belong to completely different species-groups, with the exception of Chelymorpha calva Boheman, 1854, another enigmatic taxon. Chelymorpha cruxnigra looks very similar to some forms of C. multipunctata (Olivier, 1791) and might be synonymous with the latter. However, for now I keep it as valid species because the genus Chelymorpha requires a complex revision based on comparative study of female genitalia and molecular data, as these two characters seem to be the only methods to separate numerous specimens of polymorphic complexes of similarly looking species.
Distribution. Mexico (BOHEMAN 1862).

Diagnostic description
Habitus: Fig. 55. Very similar in almost every aspect to D. verecundus and D. verecundior Moret sp. nov., so the description will be limited to the few distinctive characters of this new species. Body length: 11.5–11.9 mm, as the biggest specimens of D. verecundus; head slightly broader with convex eyes; antennae thinner, the second antennomere 1.76 to 1.77 times as long as wide (1.41 to 1.65 times in D. verecundus and D. verecundior Moret sp. nov.); pronotum broader, 1.27 to 1.28 times as wide as long (1.13 to 1.24 times in D. verecundus and D. verecundior Moret sp. nov.); apical blade of the median lobe broader and more rounded at apex in dorsal view (Fig. 59); endophallus with a large sclerotized area at middle, and a reduced, almost obsolete squamose area near apex (two sclerotized areas of similar size in D. verecundus and D. verecundior Moret sp. nov.).
Habitat
Humid superpáramo at around 4500 m a.s.l.
Geographic distribution
Microendemic species, restricted to the Chimborazo volcano in the Western Cordillera.
Comments
The isolated population we raise here to species rank was initially assigned to D. verecundus by Moret (2005). There are more morphological differences between D. verecundissimus Moret sp. nov. and the pair of sister species D. verecundus and D. verecundior Moret sp. nov. than between the two latter, especially in the male aedeagus.

Tools for real time release testing (RTRt) in batch and continuous tablet manufacturing
Creators: name: Pawar, Pallavi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: After 50 years of near-stagnation, pharmaceutical manufacturing is experiencing unprecedented scientific and technological innovation. There is a paradigm shift from testing product quality using lengthy off-line (and after-the-fact) assays to quality being tested during the process using online/ at-line measurements. This ability to evaluate and ensure quality of final product based on process data, geared towards making batch release decisions, is known as real time release testing (RTRt). Application of RTRt allows increased assurance of quality, greater manufacturing flexibility, reduced inventory, lesser end product testing, and lower laboratory and manufacturing costs.  In this work, RTR strategies were developed for different critical quality attributes (CQAs) such as Blend and Content uniformity (B.U. and C.U.), and tablet dissolution in real- time. The utility of different sampling methodologies was investigated with the intention of extracting maximum information and reducing redundancy in data collection.  The first aim of this dissertation investigated the use of Near IR Spectroscopy (NIRS) for online monitoring of B.U. The second specific aim involved developing a RTR strategy to assess C.U. of tablets. NIRS was found to be an effective tool for expedited C.U. predictions enabling interrogation of a greater number of tablet samples. These extensive tablet C.U. studies provided a rigorous basis for assessing and verifying the various thief sampling and PAT methods and determining their relative accuracy and reliability.   A key component of a meaningful RTR strategy for most products is the ability to predict dissolution utilizing the available on/at-line sensing infrastructure. Specific aim 3 focused on using NIRS to develop a RTR strategy for dissolution prediction of tablets made from blends exposed to different levels of mechanical strain in batch processing. This effect of strain was also investigated using traditional approaches such as tensile strength and porosity measurements.  The fourth and final aim focused on using soft sensing combined with at-line Near IR measurements to predict dissolution of tablets manufactured in a continuous direct compaction (CDC) line. Individual dissolution profiles were predicted using this approach with a high correlation between the predicted and the observed dissolution profiles. This concluded the RTRt strategy for solid dosage manufacturing.
