Guizhou Province, Guiyang City, the green ground of Qianlingshan Park (N 26°60′, E 106°69′), soil, September 2016, Zhi-Yuan Zhang, dried holotype HMAS 351881, ex-holotype CGMCC 3.20770, ibid., GZUIFR 21.927. Colonies slow-growing on PDA and MEA after 14 days of incubation at 25 °C; on PDA reaching up 23–25 mm in diameter; white, flat or raised, glabrous toward the periphery, reverse white to buff; On MEA, attaining a diameter of 22–24 mm; pale to white, umbonate at center and flat toward the periphery, powdery, reverse white. Vegetative hyphae septate, hyaline, smooth- and thin-walled, 0.5–2.0 μm diam. Conidiophores simple or branched, erect, up to 88.0 µm long, hyaline, smooth-walled. Conidiogenous hyphae simple or branched, erect, 0.5–3.0 µm wide, forming septa basipetally to form arthroconidia released by schizolythic secession. Arthroconidia unicellular, cylindrical with truncated or cuboid, straight or slightly curved, 0.5–3.0 × 1.5–5.5 µm, hyaline. Chlamydospores terminal, unicellular, globose or subglobose, 2.5–4.0 × 3.5–4.5 μm. Non- trichosporiella-like synasexual morph in culture. Sexual morph not observed. Etymology: —Referring to the presence of multiple types of spores. Additional specimens examined: — CHINA, Guizhou Province, Guiyang City, the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University, N 26°59′, E 106°71′, from soil beside a road, September 2016, Zhi-Yuan Zhang GZUIFR 21.928, ibid., GZUIFR 21.929. Known distribution: —Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, China. Notes: —Phylogenetically, our four strains (CGMCC 3.20770, GZUIFR 21.927, GZUIFR 21.928, and GZUIFR 21.929) clustered in a single clade with a high support value (BI pp = posterior probability 1, ML BS 99). Morphologically, member of the genus Arthrographis is generally recognized based on their slow growth rate, the presence of 1-celled, cylindrical arthroconidia released schizolytically from dendritic conidiophores (Sigler & Carmichael 1976). A. multiformispora differs from A. curvata, A. grakistii, A. kalrae and A. arxii in that it has no the trichosporiella-like synasexual morph (Giraldo et al. 2014; Hernández-Restrepo et al. 2020). A. multiformispora resembles A. chlamydospora in the presence of chlamydospores, but the conidiophores of the latter mostly repeatedly branched, while A. multiformispora is simple or branched (Giraldo et al. 2014). In conclusion, morphological and molecular phylogenetic results indicated that these new isolates are a new species in the genus Arthrographis, described here as A. multiformispora.Published as part of Li, Xin, Zhang, Zhi-Yuan, Chen, Wan-Hao, Liang, Jian-Dong, Huang, Jian-Zhong, Han, Yan- Feng & Liang, Zong-Qi, 2022, A new species of Arthrographis (Eremomycetaceae, Dothideomycetes), from the soil in Guizhou, China, pp. 175-181 in Phytotaxa 538 (3) on pages 178-179, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.538.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/633675

Mechanistic Insight into Next Generation Batteries: The Story of Li-oxygen and Zn-aqueous Batteries
No full textCurrent Li-ion batteries dominate the market but face great challenges with respect to safety, cost and the higher energy and power densit requirements of electrical vehicles and stationary energy storage. Relevant for mobile electrical transport, Li-O2 batteries in theory offer the highest specific energy among all the lithium electrochemical energy storage systems. Research efforts have been made to address the challenges that impede the functioning of this battery, which include low round trip efficiency, low specific capacity and poor cycling stability. To understand the origin of these issues, attaining a deeper understanding of the mechanism behind the electrochemical reactions is of vital importance. This also forms the foundation for exploring ideal oxygen cathodes and better electrolytes. The aqueous zinc batteries are another potential candidate for large scale electric energy storage owing to its low-cost, high operational safety, and environmental benignity. However, it is not easy to find a suitable insertion cathode for ZIBs, because the electrostatic interaction between divalent Zn ions. The development of host materials for ZIBs is still in its infancy, and in-depth understanding of the electrochemical processes involved is paramount at this early stage. The focus of this thesis is on attaining mechanistic insight into the electrochemical processes occurring in working Li-O2 and aqueous zinc batteries, which guides the choice/design of proper electrode materials for these next generation battery systems

Near-capacity code design for entanglement-assisted classical communication over quantum depolarizing channels
No full textWe have conceived a near-capacity code design for entanglement-assisted classical communication over the quantum depolarizing channel. The proposed system relies on efficient near-capacity classical code designs for approaching the entanglement-assisted classical capacity of a quantum depolarizing channel. It incorporates an Irregular Convolutional Code (IRCC), a Unity Rate Code (URC) and a soft-decision aided Superdense Code (SD), which is hence referred to as an IRCC-URC-SD arrangement. Furthermore, the entanglement-assisted classical capacity of an N-qubit superdense code transmitted over a depolarizing channel is invoked for benchmarking. It is demonstrated that the proposed system operates within 0.4 dB of the achievable noise limit for both 2-qubit as well as 3-qubit SD schemes. More specifically, our design exhibits a deviation of only 0.062 and 0.031 classical bits per channel use from the corresponding 2-qubit and 3-qubit capacity limits, respectively. The proposed system is also benchmarked against the classical convolutional and turbo codes
