Two species of Digenea were recorded for the first time in South America and in new hosts: Acanthostomum spiniceps (Looss, 1896) (Cryptogonimidae) was reported from Astroscopus sexspinosus (Steindachner, 1877) (Uranoscopidae) and Diplomonorchis sphaerovarium Nahhas & Cable, 1964 (Monorchiidae) from Ophichthus gomesi (Castelnau, 1855) (Ophichthidae). From the latter, Heliconema heliconema Travas...

Here, we report the whole-genome sequence and annotation of Pseudomonas kilonensis 1855-344 (previously known as P. fluorescens 1855-344). The genome contains an octopine oxidase gene cluster consistent with the ability to utilize octopine. A biosynthetic gene cluster was identified for mangotoxin and aryl-polyene using the antiSMASH server.

This master thesis describes and treats the conflict between usability and safety in designing industrial interfaces. With literature studies and case studies as a base it analyzes valuable characteristics that are important to include in a design process to increase the possibility to solve this conflict. Further, the thesis investigates several existing design methods and the most valuable pa...

The multispecific organic anion drug transporters OAT6 (SLC22A20) and OAT1 (SLC22A6) are expressed in nasal epithelial cells and both can bind odorants. Sequence analysis of OAT6 revealed an evolutionarily conserved 79-amino acid (AA) fragment present not only in OAT6 but also in other SLC22 transporters, such as the organic anion transporter (OAT), organic carnitine transporter (OCTN), and org...

We present the first theoretical prediction of production rate $1^{-+}$ light hybrid meson $\eta_1$ in $J/\psi$ radiative decays. In $N_f=2$ lattice QCD formalism with pion mass $m_\pi\approx 350$ MeV, related electromagnetic multipole form factors are extracted from three-point functions that involve necessarily quark annihilation diagrams, which calculated through distillation method. The par...

The type status is described for 65 taxa of the Orthalicoidea, classified within the families Megaspiridae (14), Orthalicidae (30), and Simpulopsidae (20); one taxon is considered a nomen inquirendum. Lectotypes are designated for the following taxa: Helixbrephoides d'Orbigny, 1835; Simpulopsiscumingi Pfeiffer, 1861; Bulimulus (Protoglyptus) dejectus Fulton, 1907; Bulimusiris Pfeiffer, 1853. Th...
