Description:— Jong & Davis (1972). Notes:— Phialocephala humicola was initially reported as saprophytes on soil in New Jersey, USA (Jong & Davis 1972). Although we did not isolate the type strains, we have examined the DNA sequence data from ex-type culture and another culture deposited under that species name in GenBank. Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses indicate that this species formed a well-supported monophyletic lineage in Chloridium, and can be differentiated from the other species in Chloridium by its morphological characteristics and DNA sequence data (Fig 1, 2; Jong & Davis 1972). Based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses, we therefore transferred P. humicola to Chloridium as a new combination.Published as part of Wei, Tian-Peng, Wang, Kun-Ying, Zhang, Hong, Luo, Ming-Yan, Jia, Wei-Yu, Zeng, Yan & Jiang, Yu-Lan, 2022, A new species and a new combination of Chloridium from southwest China, pp. 67-76 in Phytotaxa 549 (1) on page 72, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.549.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/660536
Natural Variation of the Circadian Clock in Neurospora
No full textMost living organisms on earth experience daily and expected changes from the rotation of the earth. For an organism, the ability to predict and prepare for incoming stresses or resources is a very important skill for survival. This cellular process of measuring daily time of the day is collectively called the circadian clock. Because of its fundamental role in survival in nature, there is a great interest in studying the natural variation of the circadian clock. However, characterizing the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying natural variation of circadian clocks remains a challenging task. In this chapter, we will summarize the progress in studying natural variation of the circadian clock in the successful eukaryotic model Neurospora, which led to discovering many design principles of the molecular mechanisms of the eukaryotic circadian clock. Despite the success of the system in revealing the molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock, Neurospora has not been utilized to extensively study natural variation. We will review the challenges that hindered the natural variation studies in Neurospora, and how they were overcome. We will also review the advantages of Neurospora for natural variation studies. Since Neurospora is the model fungal species for circadian study, it represents over 5 million species of fungi on earth. These fungi play important roles in ecosystems on earth, and as such Neurospora could serve as an important model for understanding the ecological role of natural variation in fungal circadian clocks.Advances in Genetics, Vol. 99

No full textTowards the Holy Grail: combining system dynamics and discrete-event simulation in healthcare
No full textThe idea of combining discrete-event simulation and system dynamics has been a topic of debate in theoperations research community for over a decade. Many authors have considered the potential benefits ofsuch an approach from a methodological or practical standpoint. However, despite numerous examples ofmodels with both discrete and continuous parameters in the computer science and engineering literature,nobody in the OR field has yet succeeded in developing a genuinely hybrid approach which truly integratesthe philosophical approach and technical merits of both DES and SD in a single model. In this paperwe consider some of the reasons for this and describe two practical healthcare examples of combinedDES/SD models, which nevertheless fall short of the “holy grail” which has been so widely discussed inthe literature over the past decade
