Holotype — MFLU 19-2135 Saprobic on a dead branch. Sexual morph: Ascomata 380–450 μm diam. × 290–320 μm high (x = 420 × 307 μm, n = 10), immersed in bark with erumpent neck, visible as black dots on the host surface, solitary, scattered or sometimes gregarious, subglobose, flat base, coriaceous, brown to dark brown, with centrally opening ostiole. Ostiole centrally located, filled with periphyses and hyaline cells. Peridium 18–28 μm (x = 24 μm, n = 12) wide at the base, 42–70 μm (x = 55.5 μm, n = 8) wide around the ostiole, outer layer comprising reddish to dark brown, fused with host tissues, thin-walled cells of textura angularis, inner layer composed of hyaline, loosen, cells of textura angularis. Hamathecium 1.4–3 μm (x = 2.1 μm, n = 15) wide, composed of numerous, dense, long, filamentous, branched, septate, round to blunt apex, trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, embedded in a gelatinous matrix. Asci 175–260 × 22–42 μm (x = 215 × 32 μm, n = 25), 8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, cylindrical or oblong, with a short pedicel, apically flattened.

Asexual morph: Undetermined. Material examined— THAILAND, Nan Province, Pua District, on a dead branch of Ficus racemosa (Moraceae) attached to the host, 29 January 2019, MC. Samarakoon, SAMC215 (MFLU 19-2135, holotype; HKAS 106992, isotype). Additional sequence ITS: ON191541 (MFLU 19-2135). Notes: Massaria racemosae morphologically fits into the generic concept of Massaria as above-mentioned and differs from M. broussonetiae by having sub-globose, flat base ascomata, lack of green algae-like structures, and hyaline mature ascospores. Massaria gigantispora has more frequently grouped ascomata, a distinct rosy ostiole, larger asci (300–350 × 71–83 μm vs. 175–260 × 22–42 μm), and ascospores (89–112 × 25–28 μm vs. 45–56 × 11–16 μm) compared to M. racemosae. The LSU sequence of M. racemosae is similar to that of M. parva WU 30553 (844/850; 99%), M. lantanae CBS 125592 (840/851; 99%), and M. anomia WU 30503 (840/851; 99%), while SSU is similar to that of M. lantanae CBS 125592 (786/794; 99%), M. anomia WU 30509 (786/794; 99%), and M. ulmi WU 30566 (782/794; 98%). The RPB2 sequence of M. racemosae is similar to that of M. anomia CBS 591.78 (901/1032; 87%), M. inquinans WU 30527 (899/1039; 87%), M. vomitoria WU 30606 (897/1038; 86%), and M. platanoidea WU 30554 (898/1039; 86%). Combined gene phylogenies also showed M. racemosae as a distinct taxon, thus we introduce it here as a new species.Published as part of Samarakoon, Milan C., Liu, Jian-Kui, Karunarathna, Samantha C., Mukjang, Nilita & Cheewangkoon, Ratchadawan, 2022, Massaria broussonetiae sp. nov. and M. racemosae sp. nov.

Réplication du génome du virus de l’hépatite delta. un rôle pour la petite protéine delta S-HDAg [Hepatitis delta virus replication and the role of the small hepatitis delta protein S-HDAg]
No full textHepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a mammalian defective virus. Its genome is a small single-stranded circular RNA of approximately 1,680 nucleotides. To spread, HDV relies on hepatitis B virus envelope proteins that are needed for viral particle assembly and egress. Severe clinical features of HBV-HDV infection include acute fulminant hepatitis and chronic liver fibrosis leading to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. One uniqueness of HDV relies on its genome similarity to viroids, small plant infectious uncoated RNAs. Devoid of viral replicase activity, HDV has to use host DNA-dependant RNA Pol II to replicate its genomic RNA. Thus, one can ask how does this replication occur? We describe first here the major steps of the viral RNA transcription and replication and then we detail the role of the Small HD protein in these processes, especially with regard to the Pol II recruitment

Resurssien hallinta ja solujen liittäminen 5G-V2X:ssä
No full textAbstractThe fifth-generation (5G) of wireless communication is expected to serve a wide variety of applications with heterogeneous service requirements consisting of enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC), and massive machine-type communication (mMTC). Network slicing is instrumental in coping with these diverse set of requirements and service heterogeneity. The overarching goal of this thesis is to investigate radio resource allocation, focusing on eMBB and URLLC in the context of vehicular networks.This thesis exploits the benefits of network slicing for heterogeneous access in vehicular networks from four perspectives: (i) development and validation of downlink resource allocation algorithms for vehicular networks with multiple slices and varying quality-of-service (QoS) constraints, (ii) enhancement of quality-of-experience (QoE) via joint resource allocation and video quality selection in a single-slice vehicular network, (iii) vehicle cell association and resource allocation for sum rate maximization and signalling overhead minimization in millimeter wave (mmWave) vehicular networks, and (iv) channel state information inference to reduce the overhead of acquiring channel statistics in vehicular networks and radio resource allocation of multiple slices. These aspects are studied using analytical tools from stochastic optimization and machine learning, while taking into account vehicular mobility, dynamic network states, and heterogeneous traffic demands. The outcome include resource allocation algorithms in a multi-sliced vehicular network, QoE enhancement, cell association criterion, and a novel CSI overhead reduction mechanism.The research conducted in this thesis provides key insights into the design and optimization of vehicular communication under the constraints of latency and reliability. The obtained results show significant improvement in terms of QoS/QoE requirements, sum rate improvements, and signaling overhead reductions compared to the current state of the art.Original papersOriginal papers are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.Khan, H., Luoto, P., Bennis, M., & Latva-aho, M.

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

No full textMassaria broussonetiae Samarak. & Jian K. Liu, sp. nov. (FIGURE 2) MycoBank: MB843665; Facesoffungi number: FoF 10807 Etymology—The specific epithet refers to the host genus Broussonetia. Holotype — HKAS 102402 Saprobic on a dead branch. Sexual morph: Ascomata 325–410 μm high × 285–340 μm diam. (x = 1.1 = 370 × 313 μm, n = 10), immersed in bark with erumpent neck, visible as black dots on the host surface, solitary, scattered or sometimes gregarious, compressed globose, coriaceous, brown to dark brown, with centrally opening ostiole. Ostiole centrally located, oblong, filled with periphyses. Peridium 27–35 μm (x = 31 μm, n = 12) wide at the base and sides, 60–85 μm (x = 74 μm, n = 8) wide around the ostiole, outer layer comprising reddish to dark brown, fused with host tissues, thin-walled cells of textura angularis, inner layer composed of hyaline, loosen, cells of textura angularis, green algae-like structures below the cambium. Hamathecium 1.8–2.7 μm (x = 2.2 μm, n = 15) wide, composed of numerous, dense, long, filamentous, branched, septate, round to blunt apex, trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, embedded in a gelatinous matrix. Asci 115–150 × 33–53 μm (x = 192 × 42 μm, n = 25), 8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, cylindrical or oblong, with a short pedicel, apically rounded. Ascospores 38–55 × 15–17.5 μm (x = 48.5 × 16.5 μm, n = 35), overlapping 2-seriate, fusoid to ellipsoid, hyaline, median eusepta, many guttules when immature, greenish brown, 3-septate when mature, slightly constricted at the medium septum, narrowly rounded to nearly acute at the ends, rough-walled, prominent, large rhomboid lumina in each cell, surrounded by a 26–88 μm (x = 48 μm, n = 10) wide, distinct mucilaginous sheath. Asexual morph: Undetermined. Material examined— CHINA, Guizhou Province, Guiyang, Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences (GZAAS), on a dead branch of Broussonetia sp. (Moraceae) attached to the host, 22 July 2018, MC. Samarakoon, SAMC172 (HKAS 102402, holotype; MFLU 19-2112, iso-type). Additional sequence ITS: ON191540 (HKAS 102402). Notes: Massaria broussonetiae morphologically fits into the generic concept of Massaria by having globose or sub-globose ascomata immersed in the substrate, centric ostiole, externally darkly pigmented peridium, indistinctly septate, branched, trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, bitunicate, fissitunicate asci, and large, ellipsoidal or fusoid, 3- septate ascospores with rhomboid or lenticular lumina in each cell and a distinct mucilaginous sheath. Interestingly, the bark surrounding the ascomata of our new collection is associated with green algae-like structures, which have not previously been described in any of the known Massaria species. When compared to M. broussonetiae, M. gigantispora has more frequently grouped ascomata, a distinct rosy ostiole, larger asci (300–350 × 71–83 μm vs. 115–150 × 33–53 μm), and ascospores (89–112 × 25–28 μm vs. 38–55 × 15–17.5 μm). Massaria racemosae has subglobose ascomata with a flat base, longer asci (175–260 μm), and hyaline ascospores, which differs from M. broussonetiae by having globose ascomata, shorter asci (115–150 μm), and brown ascospores. The LSU sequence of M. broussonetiae is similar to that of M. parva WU 30553 (856/865; 99%), M. lantanae CBS 125592 (854/866; 99%), and M. ariae CBS 125589 (853/868; 98%), while RPB2 is similar to that of M. vomitoria WU 30607 (901/1046; 86%), M. platanoidea WU 30554 (901/1046; 86%), and M. inquinans WU 30527 (900/1046; 86%). The TEF1 sequence of M. broussonetiae is similar to that of M. pyri WU 30562 (702/750; 94%), M. aucupariae WU 30513 (699/750; 93%), and M. ariae WU 30510 (699/750; 93%). Combined gene phylogenies also showed M. broussonetiae as a phylogenetically distinct species, thus we introduce it here as a new species.Published as part of Samarakoon, Milan C., Liu, Jian-Kui, Karunarathna, Samantha C., Mukjang, Nilita & Cheewangkoon, Ratchadawan, 2022, Massaria broussonetiae sp. nov. and M. racemosae sp. nov.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
