title: Assessing the Impact of LED Lighting on the Stability of Selected Yellow Paint Formulations

description: Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are steadily finding application in an increasing number of museums and heritage institutions, providing energy-efficient solutions for collections display. Although there is a business case to be made for moving toward LED lighting, the safe display of objects must also be ensured. Identifying vulnerable pigments and paints ensures that future preservation strategies will be put in place, avoiding acerbation of damage and reducing the need for conservation. In the first part of our research we investigate color shift and molecular alterations in three yellow paints, namely, lead chromate sulfate, arsenic sulfide, and cadmium sulfide in linseed oil and gum arabic binders. Following an artificial aging regime, color shift was evaluated using colorimetry and molecular alterations were monitored using attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy coupled with multivariate analysis. Up to 80 Mlux h the lead chromate samples in linseed oil displayed equivalent color shifts approximating 10 ∆<i>E</i><sub>00</sub> on exposure to the three artificial aging regimes. Color shift has been attributed to the formation of lead oxides evidenced by the appearance of a mid-infrared spectral band at 470 cm<sup>−1</sup> assigned to PbO<sub>2</sub>. Above 80 Mlux h the formation of lead oxides was exacerbated by exposure to one particular LED. Arsenic sulfide in linseed oil displayed color shifts intensified by both types of LED. Above 40 Mlux h there was a discernible color shift in all samples, with the two LEDs displaying ∆<i>E</i><sub>00</sub> values two times higher than those displayed by the tungsten halogen samples. The alterations have been attributed to the formation of As<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, which is known to form in the presence of wavelengths shorter than 428 nm. Cadmium sulfides in both linseed oil and gum arabic paints did not display discernible color shifts or the presence of degradation products.

title: Updated phylogenetic and systematics of the <i>Acrapex albivena</i> Hampson, 1910 and <i>A. stygiata</i> (Hampson, 1910) species groups (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Noctuinae, Apameini, Sesamiina), with the description of nine new species from the Afrotropics

description: The genus <i>Acrapex</i> Hampson, 1891 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Noctuinae, Apameini, Sesamiina) constitutes a speciose group of noctuid stemborers mostly distributed in the Afrotropics. In this study nine new <i>Acrapex</i> species are described: <i>Acrapex abyssinica</i> <b>n. sp</b>., <i>Acrapex dabaga</i> <b>n. sp</b>., <i>Acrapex jansei</i> <b>n. sp</b>., <i>Acrapex kifanya</i> <b>n. sp</b>., <i>Acrapex lusinga</i> <b>n. sp</b>., <i>Acrapex ngwenya</i> <b>n. sp</b>., <i>Acrapex njombea</i> <b>n. sp</b>., <i>Acrapex vetiveria</i> <b>n. sp</b>. and <i>Acrapex zima</i> <b>n. sp</b>. All species are assigned to the <i>A. albivena</i> group with the exception of <i>A. lusinga</i> which is assigned to the <i>A. stygiata</i> group. We also provide supplemental descriptions for two previously described species of the <i>A. albivena</i> group, <i>A. punctosa</i> Berio, 1973 and <i>A. sysciodes</i>, Berio, 1973, and for one species belonging to the <i>A. stygiata</i> group: <i>A. brunneella</i> Le Ru, 2014. Host plants of three species are recorded; <i>A. brunneella</i> and <i>Acrapex jansei</i> were reared on <i>Cymbopogon pospischilii</i> (K. Schum.) C. E. Hubb and <i>A. vetiveria</i> on <i>Chrysopogon zizanioides</i> (L.). We also conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses (using both Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood) on a multi-marker (four mitochondrial and two nuclear genes) molecular dataset encompassing 138 specimens (including 98 specimens from the <i>A. albivena</i> group and 23 specimens from the <i>A. stygiata</i> group) from 48 stemborer species. The results of the corresponding analyses support the monophyly of the two groups of interest and the species status of all newly described taxa, except for <i>A. lusinga</i> that was not sequenced. The phylogenetic analyses also unravel several evolutionary lineages whose precise status is pending because their DNA was extracted from larval stages.

title: Imputation of Mixed Data With Multilevel Singular Value Decomposition

description: Statistical analysis of large datasets offers new opportunities to better understand underlying processes. Yet, data accumulation often implies relaxing acquisition procedures or compounding diverse sources. As a consequence, datasets often contain mixed data, that is, both quantitative and qualitative, and many missing values. Furthermore, aggregated data present a natural <i>multilevel</i> structure, where individuals or samples are nested within different sites, such as countries or hospitals. Imputation of multilevel data has therefore drawn some attention recently, but current solutions are not designed to handle mixed data, and suffer from important drawbacks, such as their computational cost. In this article, we propose a single imputation method for multilevel data, which can be used to complete either quantitative, categorical, or mixed data. The method is based on multilevel singular value decomposition (SVD), which consists in decomposing the variability of the data into two components, the between and within groups variability, and performing an SVD on both parts. We show on a simulation study that in comparison to competitors, the method has the advantages of handling datasets of various size, and being computationally faster. Furthermore, it is the first so far to handle mixed data. We apply the method to impute a medical dataset resulting from the aggregation of several hospitals datasets. This application falls in the framework of a larger project on Trauma patients. To overcome obstacles associated to the aggregation of medical data, we turn to distributed computation. The method is implemented in the R package <i>missMDA</i>. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: Adding value to lignocellulosic wastes via their use for endoxylanase production by <i>Aspergillus</i> fungi

description: Agroforestry industries in the world generate lignocellulosic wastes that can be a huge problem of pollution, or the wastes can be used for different biotechonological applications such as substrates for microorganism growth and enzyme production. Fungi such as <i>Aspergillus niger</i> can grow in almost every substrate and produce hydrolytic enzymes such as endoxylanases, giving added value to agroforestry wastes generated by industries in the northeast of Argentina. In this context, the aim of this work was to use agroforestry wastes as substrates for the production of endoxylanases by <i>Aspergillus niger</i> and to optimize nitrogen sources and physical variables for the highest endoxylanase activity. <i>A. niger</i> LBM 055 and <i>A. niger</i> LBM 134 produced high endoxylanase levels when they were grown with sugarcane and cassava bagasses as carbon sources. <i>A. niger</i> LBM 134 reached the highest endoxylanase activity when nitrogen sources and physical variables were optimized. The fungus exhibited up to 110 U mL<sup>−1</sup> of endoxylanase activity when it was grown with sugarcane bagasse and more than 160 U mL<sup>−1</sup> with cassava bagasse. Therefore, endoxylanase production was optimized using agricultural bagasses and cost 20 times less than enzyme production using synthetic xylan.

title: Ecological condition of coral reef assemblages in the Cuban Archipelago

description: The condition of coral reefs in the Cuban Archipelago is poorly known. We aimed to analyse coral assemblages across 199 reef sites belonging to 12 localities. Crest and fore reefs were assessed using six metrics: species richness, density, coral cover, mortality, coral size and reef complexity. The condition of reefs varied across the archipelago from healthy to depleted reefs. The localities with best scores were Cienfuegos, Bahía de Cochinos and Cazones. These reefs have values of living coral cover (&gt;20%) and complexity (&gt;50 cm) similar to the best preserved Caribbean reefs. However, the majority of crest biotopes suffered important deterioration with old mortality of <i>Acropora palmata</i> populations and moderate coral cover (15%); although crest reefs still maintained their structural complexity. Despite moderate levels of coral cover in fore reefs (18%), their condition was alarming because 25% of the sites had cover below the recovery threshold of 10%, accumulated mortality and structural flattening. Compared with the 1980s, the species richness was roughly the same (42) for crest and fore reefs, although dominance has changed to widespread tolerant species. Coral reef assemblages varied at local and regional scales in similar magnitude, suggesting the combined effects of natural and anthropogenic drivers.

title: Matlab code flie from The competitive advantage of institutional reward

description: Sustaining cooperation among unrelated individuals is a fundamental challenge in biology and the social sciences. In human society, this problem can be solved by establishing incentive institutions that reward cooperators and punish free-riders. Most of the previous studies have focused on which incentives promote cooperation best. However, a higher cooperation level does not always imply higher group fitness, and only incentives that lead to higher fitness can survive in social evolution. In this paper, we compare the efficiencies of three types of institutional incentives, namely, reward, punishment and a mixture of reward and punishment, by analysing the group fitness at the stable equilibria of evolutionary dynamics. We find that the optimal institutional incentive is sensitive to decision errors. When there is no error, a mixture of reward and punishment can lead to high levels of cooperation and fitness. However, for intermediate and large errors, reward performs best, and one should avoid punishment. The failure of punishment is caused by two reasons. First, punishment cannot maintain a high cooperation level. Second, punishing defectors almost always reduces the group fitness. Our findings highlight the role of reward in human cooperation. In an uncertain world, the institutional reward is not only effective but also efficient.
