Stelis anthocopae Parker & Griswold, 2013, n. sp.
No full text<i>Stelis anthocopae</i>, n. sp. <p>(Figs. 6, 16, 26, 36)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis</b>. <i>Stelis anthocopae</i> can be distinguished from most Nearctic <i>Stelis</i> by the combination of the black body with pale tergal markings but no markings on the head, second recurrent vein basad second transverse cubital vein, and terga with distinct apical pubescent bands at least laterally. Among females with these traits only <i>S. anthocopae</i> and <i>S. paiute</i> have S6 not produced apically and T6 surrounding S6; from the latter <i>S. anthocopae</i> differs by its larger size (> 6.5mm vs. <5mm) and well defined, white, continuous or narrowly interrupted tergal bands (versus diffuse white lateral maculae connected by amber bands). Males with these traits differ in the combination of hind tibial spurs dark, and S4 with broad apical comb and no central depression.</p> <p> <b>Description</b>. Female. Length 7mm; forewing 5mm long. Black, the following parts reddish: mandible medially, junctions between femora and tibiae, tegula, wing veins at base; creamy-white wide horizontal submedian bands (interrupted medially) on T1 <b>–</b> T5, increasingly smaller spots apically; wings appearing dark (dark setae). Pubescence white, thickly plumose, recumbent on lower frons, clypeal area, more setose, erect, bordered by plumose hairs on vertex, summit of scutum, scutellum; recumbent, plumose on pleura, mesepisternum, femora; less branched, more erect on rest of legs, propodeum; sparse on metasoma, setose, longer laterally on T4 <b>–</b> T6, thin, plumose bands on apical margins of terga, S1 <b>–</b> S5; dense, short hair brush covering surface of S6. Punctation coarse, punctures deep, contiguous, basal zone of propodeum with cells laterally; surface shiny on scutum, scutellum; terga with coarser punctation than sterna; S6 with fine, close punctures. F1 apically, F2 basally contrasting in sculpture, F1 slightly shorter than F2 (0.8X), combined lengths of F1 and F2 subequal to F10; head broader than long; genal width equal to eye width; OOD = OPD, OPD> (1.1X) IOD, IOD> (2.5X) LMOD, OPD> (1.3X) LOP, DIOD> (1.1X) BLID; pronotal lobe carinate; apical tibial spines minute; scutellum overhanging metanotum; second recurrent vein ending basad second transverse cubital; T1 <b>–</b> T3, ~ 3X as wide as long, tergal profile in lateral view evenly curved, no subapical indentation; T6 with bluntly rounded apical margin, ~ 2X as wide as long (Fig. 16); S6 semicircular in outline, ~ 2X as wide as long; S2 <b>–</b> S5 with depressed apical borders (where row of plumose hairs produced).</p> <p> Male. Similar to female except: apical margin of S1 round, with plumose hair band; margin of S2 indented medioapically with small projection, overhanging margin in some, apical 1/3 bordered with red; S3 with prominent V-shaped tooth on medioapical margin, apical margin reddish with thick band of plumose hair (Fig. 26); S4 depressed mediosubapically with small (0.2X width of sternum) fine-toothed comb, apically with fringe of long, thick, plumose hair (Fig. 36); S5 with wide, shallow V-shaped apical emargination; S6 with truncate apical margin; S7 with narrowly truncate apical margin; S4 <b>–</b> S6 forming bowl-shaped depression.</p> <p> <b>Type material</b>.

Sequences realized as Parker vectors of oligomorphic permutation groups
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to study the Parker vectors (in fact, sequences) of several known classes of oligomorphic groups. The Parker sequence of a group G is the sequence that counts the number of G-orbits on cycles appearing in elements of G. This work was inspired by Cameron's paper on the sequences realized by counting orbits on k-sets and k-tuples
Distal Lck Promoter–Driven Cre Shows Cell Type–Specific Function in Innate-like T Cells
No full textInnate-like T cells, including invariant NKT cells, mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, and g d T (gdT) cells, are groups of unconventional T lymphocytes. They play important roles in the immune system. Because of the lack of Cre recombinase lines that are specific for innate-like T cells, pan–T cell Cre lines are often used to study innate-like T cells. In this study, we found that distal Lck promoter–driven Cre (dLckCre) in which the distal Lck gene promoter drives Cre expression in the late stage of thymocyte development has limited function in the innate-like T cells using ROSA26floxed-Stop-tdTomato reporter. Innate-like T cells differentiate into mature functional subsets comparable to the CD4+ Th subsets under homeostatic conditions. We further showed that dLckCre-expressing gdT cells are strongly biased toward gdT1 phenotype. Interestingly, the gdT cells residing in the epidermis and comprising the vast majority of dendritic epidermal T cells nearly all express dLckCre, indicating dLckCre is a useful tool for studying dendritic epidermal T cells. Taken together, these data suggest that Lck distal promoter has different activity in the conventional and unconventional T cells. The use of dLCKcre transgenic mice in the innate-like T cells needs to be guided by a reporter for the dLckCre function
Adiabatic and Diabatic Energy Data for the Ground and First Excited Singlet States of CH₃NH₂
No full textThis data set includes adiabatic energies from XMS-CASPT2/6-31++G(d,p) calculations and diabatic energies and couplings calculated using the dipole-quadrupole diabatization method for the ground and first excited singlet states of methylamine (CH₃NH₂) at 1825 geometry points. This data was used to construct an analytical diabatic potential energy matrix.Parker, Kelsey A; Truhlar, Donald G. (2020).

Direct numerical test of the B-G-K model equation by the DSMC method
No full textIn the present paper the rarefied gas how caused by the sudden change of the wall temperature and the Rayleigh problem are simulated by the DSMC method which has been validated by experiments both in global flour field and velocity distribution function level. The comparison of the simulated results with the accurate numerical solutions of the B-G-K model equation shows that near equilibrium the BG-K equation with corrected collision frequency can give accurate result but as farther away from equilibrium the B-G-K equation is not accurate. This is for the first time that the error caused by the B-G-K model equation has been revealed

ATP dependence of K-Cl cotransport in dog red blood cells
No full textSwelling-induced K-Cl cotransport in resealed dog red blood cell ghosts requires the presence of an ATP-generating system (G. C. Colclasure and J. C. Parker. J. Gen. Physiol. 100: 1-10, 1992). The present study shows that the endogenous adenine nucleotide present in the dog ghosts is sufficient to activate K-Cl cotransport, provided that creatine phosphate is incorporated in them. Creatine kinase is not required, because dog red blood cells, unlike those of humans, possess this enzyme. Although some ATP appears to be required for K-Cl cotransport by dog ghosts, an excess of this nucleotide is inhibitory. Creatine phosphate appears to play a special role in generating the ATP required for activation of K-Cl cotransport. If ghost ATP content is manipulated in the absence of creatine phosphate, by simply adding ATP to the hemolysate, no stimulation of K-Cl cotransport occurs. On the other hand, when creatine phosphate is present, K-Cl cotransport is activated. The results are discussed in relation to current views regarding the role of ATP in activation of K-Cl cotransport and the concept of the "phosphocreatine shuttle."</jats:p
