Planistromella opuntiae sp. nov. from Queensland, Australia, and a key to the known species

A new species of a dothideaceous ascomycete, Planistromella opuntiae is described and illustrated from Queensland, Australia. Species of Planistromella are known to occur on members of Agavaceae. This new species is found on Opuntia, a member of the family Cactaceae. It is easily separated from the other known species with 1-septate ascospores by its comparatively narrower ascospores

Financial Investment Pattern and Preference of College Professors at Trichy City

Financial Investments are the commitments that are made by individuals with any financial and non-financial instruments for gaining a better and profitable return in future for a particular objective. The financial and non-financial investment instruments act as a medium or a driving tool for investment decisions of individuals. From the available investment avenues one must select the appropriate one that he feels safer or good to invest. The person who is going to make investments should be aware of all knowledge about investments and should be aware of how it is going to fulfil his objective. The person who is investing should be known of all the investment avenues available for making investments. Such avenues are employee provident fund, public provident fund, mutual funds, insurance, bank deposits, real estate, gold, stock market. This study is about to analyse the investment pattern of college professors and their attitude towards investment avenues. It also aims to identify the reason behind making investment and to find their objective for making investment. It helps to find the behaviour of individuals while making investments. Further this study helps to find the relationship of various demographic factors of the respondents and factors associated while making investment decisions. Such factors include time period of their investment, investment avenues, risk factors, returns etc

New species of foliicolous Loculoascomycetes on Dysoxylum, Melaleuca and Syzygium from Queensland, Australia

Four new species of foliicolous Loculoascomycetes, Didymella melaleucae sp. nov., Rosenscheldiella dysoxyli sp. nov., Seynesiella melaleucae sp. nov. and S. syzygii sp. nov. are described and illustrated from Queensland, Australia. The hosts are indicated by the specific epithet. Four Discostromopsis species are redisposed to Discostroma as Discostroma callistemonis (H.J. Swart) Sivan. comb. nov., D. elegans (H.J. Swart) Sivan. comb. nov., D. leptospermi (H.J. Swart) Sivan. comb. nov. and D. stoneae (H.J. Swart) Sivan. comb. nov

Towards video-based surgical workflow understanding in open orthopaedic surgery

Safe and efficient surgical training and workflow management play a critical role in clinical competency and ultimately, patient outcomes. Video data in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) have enabled opportunities for vision-based artificial intelligence (AI) systems to improve surgical skills training and assurance through post-operative video analysis and development of real-time computer-assisted interventions (CAI). Despite the availability of mounted cameras for the operating room (OR), similar capabilities are much more complex to develop for recording open surgery procedures, which has resulted in a shortage of exemplar video-based training materials. In this paper, we present a potential solution to record open surgical procedures using head-mounted cameras. Recorded videos were anonymised to remove patient and staff identifiable information using a machine learning algorithm that achieves state-of-the-art results on the OR Face dataset. We then propose a CNN-LSTM-based model to automatically segment videos into different surgical phases, which has never been previously demonstrated in open procedures. The redacted videos, along with the automatically predicted phases, are then available for surgeons and their teams for post-operative review and analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the feasibility of deploying camera recording systems and developing machine learning-based workflow analysis solutions for open surgery, particularly in orthopaedics

Boundary Terms and Junction Conditions for Generalized Scalar-Tensor Theories

We compute the boundary terms and junction conditions for Horndeski's panoptic class of scalar-tensor theories, and write the bulk and boundary equations of motion in explicitly second order form. We consider a number of special subclasses, including galileon theories, and present the corresponding formulae. Our analysis opens up of the possibility of studying tunnelling between vacua in generalized scalar-tensor theories, and braneworld dynamics. The latter follows because our results are independent of spacetime dimension.Comment: 13 pages, Equation corrected. Thanks to Tsutomu Kobayashi for informing us of the typ
