This estimate means the fossil locality, and <i>C. corniculata</i>, lies somewhere between Hh3 and Hh4, with recent age estimates based on biostratigraphy placing the site between 4.9–4.5 Mya.</p> <p> <i>Etymology:</i> From the Latin <i>corniculum</i>, deminutive of <i>cornu</i>, horn, for example, with small horns, referring to the anterior projections of the carapace, specifically on the nuchal, and sometimes referred to as the nuchal horns. The common name of this species is: horned painted turtle.</p> <p> <i>Diagnosis: Chrysemys corniculata</i> is placed in Emydidae due to the absence of musk ducts (would be notches on peripherals 3 and 4 if present), inframarginals reduced to two, normal hexagonal neurals 2–8 (also occurs in a few geoemydids; e.g. <i>Mauremys</i> Gray, 1869), and costal-inguinal buttress confined to costal 5. It is placed in the Deirochelyinae due to the lack of pectoral overlap of the entoplastron and lack of a hingeable plastral lobe with a ligamentous bridge connection (also present in some emydines). Diagnosed as a member of the genus <i>Chrysemys</i> on the basis of a low domed shell; anal notch absent or very weak; notching between posterior peripherals and marginals absent; dorsal carapacial keel absent; vertebral 1 with relatively slight nuchal overlap and with anterolateral flaring/projections. Distinguished from all other <i>Chrysemys</i> by extreme anterior projections of nuchal under marginals 1; anterior-most point of nuchal in middle of anterolateral projections (or anterolateral nuchal horns); concavity of the posterior edge of the cervical scute on the visceral surface; posterior inflation of vertebral 1; shorter and posteriorly shifted bridge with the axillary buttress barely contacting the posterior of peripheral 3 and the inguinal buttress contacting the posterior of peripheral 7; relatively shorter femoral scute along the sagittal midline; thick overlap of plastral scutes (i.e. where the scute wraps onto the visceral surface of the plastron), particularly of the humeral and femoral scutes; anterior projection of the epiplastron beneath the gular resulting in a mid-length indent along the anterior plastral lobe rim; strongly scooped, or ventrally dipping medial portion of the epiplastra; inflation of posterior plastral lobe under femoral scutes; indent at lateral plastral edge of femoral scute-anal scute sulcus contact; flattened posterior edge of xiphiplastra; shortened fossa orbitalis; anteroposteriorly shortened and curved cavum tympani; pronounced depression immediately dorsal to processus articularis; wider angled lower jaws (86° in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> vs. 74–78° in modern <i>Chrysemys</i>); more pronounced sulcus cartilaginis meckelii; and more pronounced median ridge of the lower triturating surfaces.</p> <p> <i>Description</i></p> <p> <i>Methods:</i> Terminology used throughout this study follows several well-known previous studies, including Thomson (1932), Zangerl (1969), Gaffney (1972), Ernst & Barbour (1989), Joyce & Bell (2004), Joyce (2007) and Jasinski (2018a). Although some previous studies have termed the keratinous, soft-tissue covering of the turtle shell as scales (e.g. Gaffney <i>et al.</i>, 1998; Gilbert <i>et al.</i>, 2001), we now know that the shell is covered with modified scales called scutes (e.g. Moustakas-Verho <i>et al.</i>, 2014, 2017; Moustakas-Verho & Cherepanov, 2015) and therefore this latter term is used in the present study. Measurements are all maximum lengths and/ or widths unless otherwise stated. Orientations are in proper anatomical position unless otherwise stated.

Although the specimens are sometimes somewhat crushed or ‘deformed’ while <i>in situ</i>, careful preparation often allows them to be re-assembled in their three-dimensional forms. The largest shells show maximum lengths (straight carapace length = SCL) of between 17.6 (ETMNH-12491) and 19.0 cm (ETMNH-20544), compared to <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>, whose upper size (for females) is around 25.0 cm, although males achieve maximum size at around 15.3 cm (Ernst & Lovich, 2009). The shell is more oval than in modern <i>Chrysemys</i> (Fig. 4), which can be more rounded, although some individuals can be more oval, particularly in older individuals of modern <i>Chrysemys</i>.</p> <p> <i>Carapace (Figs 2–3):</i> There are multiple wellpreserved carapaces, either partial or nearly complete. These give a good indication of the general size, shape and characteristics of <i>C. corniculata.</i> ETMNH-12491 is a medium-sized individual, but one that has reached adulthood based on fusion of the shell (particularly carapacial) elements (e.g. Legler, 1960; Zug, 1991), measuring 17.6 cm sagittally (SCL). ETMNH-20544 is the largest individual recovered, represented by a nearly complete shell with a few cranial and postcranial fragments, and measuring 19.03 cm (SCL). ETMNH-20609 represents the smallest complete (to nearly complete) specimen, with a carapace length of 14.03 cm (SCL). The shell has fine, inconspicuous texturing, although this cannot be physically felt and can normally only been seen when held to low angles with light (Fig. 3 C-D). This inconspicuous texturing is present in modern <i>Chrysemys</i>, albeit even more subtle (Fig. 3 E-F), and is not present in some other fossil <i>Chrysemys</i> taxa such as <i>Chrysemys antiqua</i> Clark, 1937 and <i>Chrysemys timida</i> Hay, 1908. No median dorsal carapacial keel is present, and the posterior of the shell tends to have a sharp, downturned bend to it, making the posterior portion of the carapace nearly vertical (Fig. 3B). This downturn can be present in modern <i>Chrysemys</i>, although it is always at a shallower angle than in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i>. As noted above, the carapace of <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> is more oval (regardless of size) than modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>, which tend to exhibit a relatively rounded or circular carapace in dorsal view (length/width ratios of 1.40–1.48 in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> compared to 1.29–1.36 in <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>). In <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i>, the carapace also has a characteristic doming or raised portion at the anteromedial portion of the shell (Fig. 3A), meaning the nuchal is noticeably higher than the surrounding elements, mainly the peripherals and corresponding marginals lateral to it. This is most easily seen in anterior view, where modern <i>Chrysemys</i> are usually gently rounded, while there is an open angle between the bridge and the sagittal anterior midline. Simply put, it is analogous to ‘circular vs. triangular’ in anterior view. Additionally, the entire bridge is shifted posteriorly in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i>. This is evidenced by the axillary buttress barely contacting the posterior of peripheral 3 in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> (Fig. 3B), while contacting the anterior of peripheral 3 in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>. For the inguinal buttress, both taxa contact the posterior of peripheral 7, indicating the bridge is a bit longer, larger and more robust in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>.</p> <p> <i>Sutures of the carapace (Fig. 2A):</i> The nuchal of <i>C. corniculata</i> represents a more pronounced and extreme morphology than that of modern <i>Chrysemys</i>. It maintains the roughly hexagonal shape of most emydid nuchals. The nuchal is nearly equal in length and width, although it is slightly longer than wide in ETMNH-12491 (42.4 mm long vs. 39.3 mm wide). Its anterior portion (anterior to the nuchal-peripheral 1-costal 1 intersection, 75% of nuchal length) is definitively longer than its posterior portion (25%). It is transversely constricted near the middle of the marginals 1, and flares anteriorly in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i>, more so than in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>. The portion under the cervical scute does not reach as far anteriorly as that under the marginals 1, and these three projections are separated by two prevalent notches. The lateral edges of the anterolateral projections of the nuchal (nuchal horns) in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> are posterolaterally angled, making the anterior-most portion of the nuchal in the middle of these anterolateral projections, while there is no posterolateral-angling in other <i>Chrysemys</i>, including <i>Chrysemys isoni</i> Weems & George, 2013. As stated above, the doming or raised region at the anteromedial portion of the shell means the nuchal is noticeably higher than the rest of the surrounding elements, mainly the marginals lateral to it (Fig. 3A). This is most clearly seen in anterior view, where modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i> tend to be gently rounded (Fig. 4C), while the anterolateral edges of the carapace are angled dorsally to the nuchal (from the bridge). The majority of the eight neurals agree morphologically with those in modern <i>Chrysemys</i>. Neural 2 is squat in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> with a significantly rounded posterior border, while the posterior border in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i> is straight. Neural 8 is more squared-off than modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>, which tend to have a more ‘triangular’ neural 8, although the neurals in turtles tend to have minor quantitative variations (e.g. Cherepanov, 1994). The posterior suprapygal, immediately anterior to the pygal, is concave on its anterior border, with a wider than long hexagonal shape. The anterior border of the posterior suprapygal in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i> tends to be straight (mediolaterally or transversely oriented), but can be slightly concave, although not to the same extent as <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i>. While in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i> the pygal routinely has parallel lateral edges, in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> it is contracted posteriorly, being narrower posteriorly than anteriorly. The pygal also possesses a small but conspicuous notch posteromedially with sharp edges. While an inconspicuous notch can be found in some modern <i>Chrysemys</i>, the notch in the latter has gently sloping sides and is relatively smaller. The anterior edge of the pygal exhibits a gentle and inconspicuous concave curvature. The bridge peripherals of <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> are vertical, making them appear narrow when viewed dorsally. This mostly agrees with Recent <i>Chrysemys</i>, although those in the modern taxa are not as extreme, and therefore not as inconspicuous when viewed dorsally. The other peripherals agree morphologically with other <i>Chrysemys</i>. The edge of the carapace is smooth, with only inconspicuous notches between the posterior peripherals of some individuals (e.g. ETMNH-3561, -20609), not including those notches on and immediately around the nuchal. The outer rim is also relatively gracile, especially in comparison to the other deirochelyines known from the GFS (<i>Trachemys haugrudi</i>; Jasinski, 2018a). The axillary buttress barely contacts the posterior of marginal 3 in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> (Fig. 3B), while it contacts the anterior of peripheral 3 in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>. The inguinal buttresses of both taxa usually contact the posterior of peripheral 7. This suggests a relatively shorter and potentially less robust bridge for <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i>. As noted above, the bridge peripherals are oriented mainly dorsoventrally, making them more visible laterally and less significant when viewed dorsally or ventrally. This leads to the posterior portion of the carapace flaring out laterally beginning midway through peripheral 7, as in modern <i>Chrysemys</i>.</p> <p> <i>Sulci of the carapace (Fig. 2C):</i> The bony shell of a turtle is covered by keratinous scales or plates called scutes. Scutes are modified scales and develop differently than reptilian scales, namely with the former developing from local epithelial thickenings called placodes through radial growth while scales (along with feathers, teeth and hair) develop as ectodermal appendages through epithelial-mesenchymal interaction (e.g. Cherepanov, 2006; Moustakas-Verho <i>et al.</i>, 2014, 2017; Moustakas-Verho & Cherepanov, 2015). These scutes are separated into various different sections by sulci (or seams), which can be seen on the surface of the bones and give an indication of their morphology and appearance even when they are not present or preserved, such as in fossils. The cervical scute is long and narrow, often coming to an anterior point sagittally (medioanteriorly). The cervical underlap is shorter than the overlap in <i>C. corniculata</i> (~74–85%), although less so than in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i> (~67–80%), but these values tend to vary, as seen by the range. The posterior width of the overlap of the cervical scute is narrower (compared to its length) in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> than either <i>C</i>. <i>isoni</i> or <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>. The lateral edges of the cervical are parallel to slightly angled anteriorly as the cervical comes to an anterior point. As stated above, it is separated from marginals 1 by a pronounced lateral notch. The anterior-most point(s) of the carapace lie medially on the anterior projecting portion of marginals 1 (anterolateral projections of the nuchal under marginals 1). Although vertebrals 2–5 agree morphologically with those in <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>, vertebral 1 is more morphologically unique (Fig. 3C). In <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i>, vertebral 1 is straight anteriorly and well-rounded (concave) posteriorly. There is lateral inflation posteriorly while it is constricted anteriorly. At its anterolateral edges vertebral 1 flares laterally and becomes significantly wider, giving it a slightly hourglass-like shape. However, in modern <i>C</i>. <i>picta</i>, the anterior and posterior borders of vertebral 1 tend to be relatively straight to slightly curved, while the anterior half is normally wider (the sides can also sometimes be approximately parallel) (Fig. 3E). Regardless, the only unique curvature present is at the anterolateral points, which curve slightly laterally. Vertebral 4 also exhibits more curvature and has more sinusoidal sulci, although this is mainly visible posterolaterally where it contacts pleural 4. As in other <i>Chrysemys</i>, and emydids in general, <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> has four pairs of pleurals that mostly agree morphologically with those of modern <i>Chrysemys</i>. However, as for the morphology of the vertebrals, the medial sulci of pleurals 1 and 4 in <i>C</i>. <i>corniculata</i> are more sinuous and curved where they contact vertebrals 1 and 4, respectively. As noted above, marginal 1 has a pronounced medial projection, clearly distinguishing its anteromedial and anterolateral halves (Figs 2, 7 A-D). The anterior extent of this projection tends to be pronounced, although it is less so in ETMNH-12491. This difference may be individual variation or sexually dimorphic, although it is present to at least some degree in all nuchal specimens of

A Heuristic Method to Calculate the Capacity of Residential PV-BESS in Providing Upward Flexibility Services in Energy Communities
No full textThis paper proposes a heuristic method for calculating the capacity of a set of residential photovoltaic-battery systems in providing upward flexibility services to the grid in an energy communities framework. The proposed method has been designed to calculate the upward service capacity in a few minutes, assuming a scenario where the grid operator urgently needs an upward service in a specific area. The proposed method calculates the service capacity by exploiting the PV overgeneration and the state of charge of batteries, adopting a distributed approach. If the service capacity varies relevantly over time, a centralized approach is considered allowing the service capacity to remain constant over time. An algorithm is provided that implements the proposed heuristic method that can be easily translated into a software code and solved even in the absence of specific skills and expensive high-level computational tools, i.e. using cost-effective single-board computers. The main benefits and advantages of the proposed method are due to its applicability in real-time problems and to its simplicity which makes it easy to be translated into software code and solved even in the absence of specific skills and high-level computational tools. Therefore, it is a simple and advantageous solution, especially for small energy communities. The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and algorithm, studying a set of four residential photovoltaic-battery systems and real input data. For this test case, the algorithm returns a flat service capacity of approximately 8 kW which remains perfectly constant for 1-hour. Lastly, the performance of the proposed heuristic method is compared with the solution of two optimization problems aiming at the same scope
