Mixtopagurus paradoxus A. Milne-Edwards 1880
No full textMixtopagurus paradoxus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880 Mixtopagurus paradoxus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880: 39. Material examined. None. Distribution. Western Atlantic— USA (North Carolina), Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas, Caribbean Sea, Brazil (Amapá, Maranhão, Ceará, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) (Milne-Edwards 1880; Milne-Edwards & Bouvier 1893; Benedict 1901a; Bullis & Thompson 1965; Forest 1987; Coelho 1996; Lemaitre & Tavares 2015). Remarks. The distribution of Mixtopagurus paradoxus in Brazil suggested by Melo (1999) is from Amapá (Coelho 1996) to Maranhão (first record from Brazil) (Bullis & Thompson 1965). However, the deposition of the material from Maranhão is unknown. In addition, Coelho et al. (2007) established a range from Amapá to Pará as part of this species distribution, but it seems to be a mistake because there are no records of M. paradoxus from Pará (Lemaitre & Tavares, 2015). These later reported an abundant collection of M. paradoxus from São Paulo (Santos, iv.2002, coll. Carlo Magenta, 350–400 m, 18 ♂ 7.5–13.0 mm sl, 11 ♀ 7.5–8.5 mm sl, MZUSP 14594; idem: 30 ♂ 8.5–14.0 mm sl, 9 ♀ 7.0– 8.5 mm sl, MZUSP 14595); however for some of the material mentioned in the list (p. 457), the coordinates furnished seem to belong to the waters of Rio de Janeiro (to cite F/V Nuevo Apenino, 23°42.40ʹS, 042°18.30ʹW, 24.xi.2001, MZUSP 15699; idem: 23°42.49ʹS, 042°07.00ʹW, 02.xii.2001, MZUSP 15694; idem: 23°59.33ʹS, 042°19.16ʹW, 30.xi.2001, MZUSP 15698).Published as part of Mantelatto, Fernando L., Miranda, Ivana, Vera-Silva, Ana L., Negri, Mariana, Buranelli, Raquel C., Terossi, Mariana, Magalhães, Tatiana, Costa, Rogério C., Zara, Fernando J. & Castilho, Antonio L., 2021, Checklist of decapod crustaceans from the coast of the São Paulo state (Brazil) supported by integrative molecular and morphological data: IV.

No full textTesting the Edwards hypothesis in spin systems under tapping dynamics
No full textURL: http://www-spht.cea.fr/articles/T01/140 Test de l'hypothèse d'Edwards dans des modèles de spin http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0111485International audienceThe Edwards hypothesis of ergodicity of blocked configurations for gently tapped granular materials is tested for abstract models of spin systems on random graphs and spin chains with kinetic constraints. The tapping dynamics is modeled by considering two distinct mechanisms of energy injection: {\sl thermal} and {\sl random} tapping. We find that ergodicity depends upon the tapping procedure (i.e. the way the blocked configurations are dynamically accessed): for thermal tapping ergodicity is a good approximation, while it fails to describe the asymptotic stationary state reached by the random tapping dynamics
CR1 Knops blood group alleles are not associated with severe malaria in the Gambia
No full textThe Knops blood group antigen erythrocyte polymorphisms have been associated with reduced falciparum malaria-based in vitro rosette formation (putative malaria virulence factor). Having previously identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human complement receptor 1 (CR1/CD35) gene underlying the Knops antithetical antigens Sl1/Sl2 and McC(a)/McC(b), we have now performed genotype comparisons to test associations between these two molecular variants and severe malaria in West African children living in the Gambia. While SNPs associated with Sl:2 and McC(b+) were equally distributed among malaria-infected children with severe malaria and control children not infected with malaria parasites, high allele frequencies for Sl 2 (0.800, 1,365/1,706) and McC(b) (0.385, 658/1706) were observed. Further, when compared to the Sl 1/McC(a) allele observed in all populations, the African Sl 2/McC(b) allele appears to have evolved as a result of positive selection (modified Nei-Gojobori test Ka-Ks/s.e.=1.77, P-valu

On the sheaf-theoretic SL(2, C) Casson–Lin invariant
No full textWe prove that the (τ-weighted, sheaf-theoretic) SL(2, C) Casson–Lin invariant introduced by Manolescu and the first author is generically independent of the parameter τ and additive under connected sums of knots in integral homology 3-spheres. This addresses two questions asked by Manolescu and the first author. Our arguments involve a mix of topology and algebraic geometry, and rely crucially on the fact that the SL(2, C) Casson–Lin invariant admits an alternative interpretation via the theory of Behrend functions.</p

This article was originally published in IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. The version of record is available at: https://doi.org/10.1109/TPC.2022.3177083Background: This article reports on survey-based research of technical and professional communication (TPC) teachers and administrators, illustrating how these participants implement social justice and intercultural communication pedagogies in service learning (SL). Literature review: We situate this research in relation to existing scholarship about SL in TPC, SL and social justice, and SL as it intersects with intercultural communication. Research question: How do technical and professional communication teachers and administrators across the US infuse their SL pedagogies with social justice and intercultural communication theories in practice? Research methodology: Using purposive sampling, we surveyed 55 TPC teachers and administrators about their experiences with and attitudes toward social justice and intercultural communication in SL. Results/discussion: We identify what courses are reported as sites of SL projects as well as participants’ self-reported perceptions about social justice in SL. In addition, we outline four themes related to the application of social justice and intercultural communication theories to SL: activities, constraints, points of resistance, and goals and outcomes. Conclusion: We conclude with recommendations for TPC administrators and programs, and by briefly discussing implications for TPC practitioners and future directions for research.The research study described in this article was
