Diversity, distribution and knowledge gaps of Polychaeta on the continental shelf of southern Namibia

This study investigated the diversity, composition and distribution patterns of polychaete macrofauna inhabiting unconsolidated sediments on the continental shelf of southern Namibia. During the austral summer of 2021, 910 Van Veen grab samples were collected from 91 sites in water depths ranging between 43 and 146 m. All benthic macrofauna (> 1 mm) were extracted, identified, enumerated and weighed. Polychaetes were the most abundant taxon, equating to 66% of total abundance and 37% of total biomass. A total of 83 712 polychaete specimens comprising 112 species, 80 genera and 33 families were collected. Several taxa identified were listed as putative cosmopolitans (19 taxa) or have known wide local distributions (10 taxa). Voucher specimens were collected for DNA barcoding to improve reference sequence libraries for the region. Hierarchical cluster analyses using both abundance and biomass data were undertaken to determine spatial distribution patterns in polychaete communities. Both datasets yielded similar results with polychaete assemblages divided into inshore and offshore communities, that were further subdivided at a local scale. Investigation of physical and chemical drivers suggested that polychaete communities in southern Namibia are structured to varying degrees by water depth, latitude, sediment composition, redox potential and organic content. Deeper stations comprised the highest diversity of polychaeta fauna. Species adapted to hypoxic conditions (e.g. Sigambra parva, Pararionospio pinnata, Diopatra cf. monroi and Nepthys cf. hombergii) dominated an area known as the mudbelt, where organically enriched silts and clays originating from the Orange River are deposited on the mid-shelf between the 40 and 120 m isobaths.

A narrative review on trypanosomiasis and its effect on food production

Trypanosomiasis is an endemic parasitic disease affecting both humans and animal with a severe negative impact on food production in almost all parts of the world. This review seeks to summarize the history of trypanosomiasis and examine the prevalence of trypanosome infection in animals and its effects on food production. A narrative review was conducted on the history of trypanosomiasis. The literature search was conducted on different databases, and selected articles were screened, data extracted, and analyzed. It is believed that trypanosomiasis has been in existence for several decades dating as far as about 2500 BC during the era of the Egyptian kingdom. Africa was found to have the most common cases of animal trypanosomiasis, with 36 out of 40 articles reporting cases. Cattle among other mammals are the most studied animals and they are the most affected. Hence, milk and meat production are greatly affected by trypanosomiasis. The age of animals and the feed provided to animals also played a role in the prevalence and distribution of the pathogen. This review reveals a wide geographical distribution and diverse host range of trypanosome species. The study also highlights the severity of trypanosomiasis and its impact on food production.

Dengue prevention and control measures in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul in the face os epidemics: a question of environmental education

Dengue is caused by viruses from the Flaviviridae family, from the Flavivirus genus, and has been identified as one of the main vector-borne diseases in the world. According to the epidemiological picture of dengue in Brazil, a wide distribution of Aedes aegypti was observed in all regions with the circulation of three main viral serotypes (DENV1, DENV2 and DENV3) and a great possibility of the introduction of the DENV4 serotype. Its transmission involves vectors of the Aedes genus, with Aedes aegypti being responsible for the urban cycle of the disease. It is an acute disease that can progress to remission of symptoms, or worsening of the case followed by death, a fact that highlights the importance of effective control measures. This work was carried out through retrospective analytical descriptive research with theoretical foundations carried out through a bibliographic review in the Scielo, Scopus, Bireme, Lilacs, MEDLINE and DATASUS databases with the objectives of identifying the number of Dengue cases that occurred in the period 2018 to 2023, the prevention and control measures implemented by the state and the occurrence of possible environmental and human health changes related to the use of these compounds.

1102. Platanthera chlorantha (Custer) Rchb.: Orchidaceae

SummaryPlatanthera chlorantha (greater butterfly orchid) is illustrated here (Plate 1102). It is a widespread, temperate European and western Asian species. A detailed description is provided, with notes on habitat. Given its wide distribution and the diverse range of habitats where it occurs, its conservation status is Least Concern in Europe. It is occasionally available for sale, but due to its cultivation requirements it should be regarded as a plant to be grown by specialists.

1105. Anacamptis pyramidalis (L.) Rich.: Orchidaceae

SummaryAnacamptis pyramidalis (pyramidal orchid) is illustrated here. It is a widespread, mostly temperate European species (absent from northern Scotland and much of Scandinavia), extending into south‐western Asia and North Africa. A detailed description is provided, with notes on cytology, habitat and cultivation. It is collected in the eastern Mediterranean for salep production, but, given its wide distribution, this harvest is unlikely to have an impact on its global conservation status.

DNA barcoding reveals a taxonomic fraud: Note on validity of Propomacrus muramotoae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae)

Until the early 2000s, the genus Propomacrus was known to comprise two species, occurring in the Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast China. The discovery of Propomacrus muramotoae Fujioka in Tibet and subsequently in Bhutan and Nepal, might play a crucial role in bridging the geographical distribution gap of the Euchirini tribe between the Mediterranean and Central China, offering profound insights into its evolution and biogeography. However, all specimens, including the holotype specimen, were sourced from a single insect vendor, with no further specimens found or catalogued in museum collections thereafter. During our examination of a P. muramotoae specimen from a private collection in South Korea, we found its COI gene sequence to be identical to that of P. bimucronatus (Pallas) from Turkey, a species known for its wide distribution and genetic variability across regional populations. This overlap in genetic identity raised significant doubts, further compounded by our detection of deliberate modifications in essential diagnostic features during morphological examination. All three specimens we examined showed crude modifications, including staining and artificial grinding. Despite our inability to access the P. muramotoae type specimens for direct examination—a challenge we attempted to overcome through various means—it is evident that significant fraudulent tampering has occurred with the P. muramotoae specimens. Therefore, a new synonymy is proposed: Propomacrus bimucronatus Pallas, 1781 = P. muramotoae Fujioka, 2007 (syn. nov.). We also advocate for a straightforward verification of the type specimen through molecular analysis of the COI barcode region and morphological re-examination under a microscope for those who have access to the type specimens.

Exploring novel double perovskite SrEuTiFeO6: Synthesis, microstructural, optical, and dielectric properties

AbstractThe novel double perovskite oxide SrEuTiFeO6 was synthesized using the solid‐state reaction method. X‐ray diffraction analysis, complemented by Rietveld refinement, confirmed that this material crystallizes in a cubic double perovskite structure with the Pm3̅m space group and revealed cationic disorder at both the A (Sr, Eu) and B (Ti, Fe) sites. Crystallite size and lattice strain were determined through various methods. Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy was utilized to examine vibrational modes and bond distortions within this material. Scanning electron microscopy showed a heterogeneous microstructure, with a wide distribution of grain sizes and shapes, resulting from the kinetics of the solid‐state synthesis. Energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy confirmed the material's homogeneity, stoichiometry, and chemical composition. UV–visible spectroscopy was used to investigate the optical properties of SrEuTiFeO6, identifying several characteristic optical transitions. The band gap energy and refractive index were found to be 2.08 eV and 2.60, respectively, indicating the material's potential for various applications. Additionally, the dielectric properties, including the relative dielectric constant and loss tangent, were thoroughly analyzed as functions of frequency and temperature. The electrical conductivity dispersion phenomenon was also analyzed according to Jonscher's power law, revealing the predominance of overlapping the large polaron tunneling mechanism.

Evaluation of the Colonization of Plants from Five Quercus Taxa Native to Greece by Tuber aestivum (Ascomycota, Pezizales)

Fungi of the genus Tuber are famous for their hypogeous ascomata (truffles), many of which possess noteworthy organoleptic properties. T. aestivum shows a wide geographic distribution, has many plant symbionts and is well adapted to various climatic conditions. In this study, five Quercus taxa native to Greece (i.e., Q. coccifera, Q. ilex, Q. ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis, Q. pubescens and Q. trojana subsp. trojana) were inoculated with spore suspensions obtained from a single ascoma of T. aestivum. The fungal colonization of oak roots was evaluated at three, seven and 12 months after inoculation; the respective colonization rates for each time period were as follows: low to medium (17–41%) for Q. pubescens, Q. ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis and Q. trojana subsp. trojana, medium to relatively high (58–80%) for Q. ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis, Q. ilex, Q. pubescens and Q. trojana subsp. trojana, and medium to high (45–87%) for all oak species examined. Positive correlations were assessed between the number of colonized root tips and the total root tips number, but no significant differences were detected between the inoculated plants and the respective control as regards plant growth. The ectomycorrhizae formed by T. aestivum with Q. ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis and Q. trojana subsp. trojana are described for the first time. The outcome of the study evidences the feasibility of generating the seedlings of various indigenous oak species (covering a large range of diverse habitats) successfully inoculated with autochthonous truffles to be readily used for cultivation purposes.

Fire protection priorities in the oak forests of Iran with an emphasis on vertebrate habitat preservation

This study examines the impact of fire incidents on wildlife and habitats in the western oak forests of Iran (Zagros region). These forests are globally recognized for their exceptional biodiversity but are frequently threatened by wildfires. To achieve this, the study uses the space–time scan statistics permutation (STSSP) model to identify areas with a higher frequency of fires. The study also analyzes the effects of fires on the Zagros forests from 2000 to 2021 using remote-sensing MODIS data. Also, to understand the elements at risk of fire, burned areas were assessed based on the richness of vertebrate species, determined by the distribution of 88 vertebrate species. The results show that the annual fire rate in the Zagros forests is 76.2 (fire occurrences per year), calculated using the Poisson distribution. Findings show the highest fire rates are found in the northwest and a part of the south of the Zagros. The northwest of the Zagros also has the largest number of single fires and clusters, indicating a wide spatial distribution of fire in these regions. On the other side, it was unexpectedly found that these regions have the richest number of species and higher habitat value. The results demonstrate a significant correlation between the value of the habitat and the extent of burned areas (p < 0.05). The study also reveals that the greatest impact of fires is on small vertebrates. The overlap of frequent fire spots with the richest regions of Zagros oak forests in terms of vertebrate diversity emphasizes the need for strategic forest risk reduction planning, especially in these priority zones.

Study on particle size and density segregation law in the separating process of poor quality coal with high gangue content under the action of composite force field

ABSTRACT Thin-seam mining frequently captures a significant proportion of gangue and interbedded coal in surface coal mines. Consequently, raw coal has a broad range of particle size distributions and a high percentage of components with intermediate densities, which are complex and challenging to separate. This study aims to determine the method of product division and the segregation law of particle size and density of raw coal during the separation process using a vibration and airflow composite force field. A difference in the particle size segregation of the coal particles was evident. Particle-size segregation primarily occurs in the separation area. Large-particle-size coal has a wide distribution range, spreading over the entire bed and fully utilizing the bed to achieve separation. The material becomes increasingly displaced into the separation area as its particle size decreases, thereby weakening the separation effect. Large coal particles can undergo density segregation in the vertical direction, with low-density material placed in the upper layer. This ensures that low-density material is incorporated into the refined coal product. Regardless of density, the coal tended to tilt more toward the bottom layer as the particle size decreased. This results in a poor density stratification effect with refined coal products mixed with gangue and an increase in the mismatch content. The extent of fine coal discharge was determined to be two-fifths of the entire length of the discharge side. This ensures that the majority of refined coal is recovered and that there is no excessive gangue mixing with the refined coal output. Achieving a 55.54% yield, refined coal lowers its ash content by 16%, increases its calorific value by 1400 kcal/kg, and effectively separates coal with a high gangue concentration.

Pinibarreniales, a new order of Sordariomycetes from pine barrens ecosystem

ABSTRACT Pinibarrenia chlamydospora, sp. nov. isolated from the roots of highbush blueberry in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, is described and illustrated. Based on multigene phylogenetic analysis, as well as morphological and ecological characteristics, Pinibarreniales and Pinibarreniaceae are established to accommodate this novel lineage in Sordariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes. Pinibarreniales, Tracyllalales, and Vermiculariopsiellales are proposed to be included in the subclass Sordariomycetidae. Pinibarreniales likely have a wide distribution and forms association with Ericaceae plants that live in acidic and oligotrophic environments because its DNA barcode matches with environmental sequences from other independent ecological studies. The plant-fungal interaction experiment revealed negative impacts on Arabidopsis, indicating its pathogenicity. This uncovered new fungal lineage will contribute to a better understanding of the diversity and systematics of Sordariomycetes.

The first deployments of pop‐up satellite archival tags on black sea bass (Centropristis striata)

AbstractBlack sea bass (Centropristis striata; BSB) are a commercially managed species with an increasing population in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Understanding their movement ecology can be difficult due to their wide distribution and ability to inhabit both inshore and offshore reef habitats. BSB have been studied using a range of tagging techniques, and here we present the results of the first deployments of pop‐up satellite archival tags (PSAT) on this species. During 2019 and 2021, we conducted four fishing trips within the southern Mid‐Atlantic Bight region of the NW Atlantic and tagged a total of 30 fish with T‐bar tags and external data loggers, of which 4 received a PSAT and the rest received a Star‐Oddi conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) archival tag. All PSATs transmitted some data, with short attachment durations (8–32 days) relative to the programmed release of 250 days, and we did not recover a Star‐Oddi tag. External tag attachment techniques need to be examined and improved before continued deployment of larger data loggers on BSB.

Exposure of small ruminants to the Schmallenberg arbovirus in Germany from 2017 to 2018 – animal-specific and flock-management-related risk factors

The Schmallenberg virus (SBV), an emerging Orthobunyavirus of mainly ruminant hosts, caused a substantial epidemic in European ruminant populations between 2011 and 2013. The pathogen is transmitted by arthropod vectors (Culicoides spp.) and can cause reproductive disorders and severe malformations of the offspring or stillbirth. The present study aimed to assess SBV seroprevalence among German sheep and goats a few years after the first virus detection in the country (November 2011). In addition, an extensive risk factor analysis including host-specific and husbandry-related factors was implemented. Seroprevalence was determined by examining serum samples from 2759 sheep and 446 goats out of a total of 70 flocks across five German federal states. The samples were withdrawn in the period between 2017 and 2018. Using a commercial competitive ELISA, antibodies against SBV were detected in all 70 investigated flocks. A percentage of 60.1 % (1657/2759) of the sheep and 40.4 % (180/446) of the goat sera contained SBV antibodies. Generalized linear mixed modeling revealed significant effects of host species (sheep > goats), age (old > young) and sex (female > male) on SBV seroprevalence. For both species, also the farming purpose, and for goats, ectoparasite treatment and the presence of cattle on the farm played a role in terms of risk for SBV exposure. The observations from this study still emphasize a wide distribution of the pathogen in Germany. Nevertheless, the observed seroprevalence might not be sufficient to achieve effective herd immunity. Pinpointing risk factors identified susceptible populations for targeted vaccination programs to reduce potential animal losses caused by SBV.

Age, Conditions and Sources of Igneous Rocks of Gora Rudnaya (Southern Yakutia)

The paper presents the results of a complex petrogeochemical and isotope-geochemical (Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd systems) study of alkaline syenites and ore-bearing metasomatites (beresites) of the Gora Rudnaya (Southern Yakutia, Russia), as well as a comparison with compositionally similar massifs of the Aldan Mesozoic igneous province. The Gora Rudnaya, together with the recently discovered Morozkinskoye deposit, is located within the Central Aldan ore region. The massif is composed predominantly of alkaline syenites with a minor amount of alkaline porphyritic syenites, which are intruded by later dikes and sills of alkaline syenite porphyries and calc-alkaline lamprophyres. Industrial gold mineralization is confined to beresitization zones (Qz–Ser– Ank–Py) in areas of intense metasomatic reworking of rocks along steeply dipping fault structures within the intrusion. The obtained Rb–Sr age values for ore-bearing metasomatites (132±1 Ma) indicate subsynchronism of the ore process and crystallization of alkaline syenites, which corresponds to the time of manifestation of the main stage of magmatism in the Aldan Mesozoic igneous province (150–115 Ma). The rocks of the Gora Rudnaya do not differ in petrogeochemical and isotope-geochemical characteristics from rocks of similar composition from other massifs of the Aldan Mesozoic igneous province, indicating a wide lateral distribution of enriched EM I type mantle beneath the studied region. Variations in the initial isotopic composition of neodymium ((143Nd/144Nd) : from 0.511375 to 0.511636) in the studied samples are probably due to the heterogeneity of the source composition. At the same time, the calculated model ages indicate that the enriched mantle source was formed no later than 2.0–2.5 Ga.

Highly graphitized coal tar pitch-derived porous carbon as high-performance lithium storage materials.

Because of its high specific capacity and superior rate performance, porous carbon is regarded as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, porous carbon materials with wide pore diameter distributions suffer from low structural stability and low electrical conductivity during the application process. During this study, the calcium carbonate nanoparticle template method is used to prepare coal tar pitch-derived porous carbon (CTP-X). The coal tar pitch-derived porous carbon has a well-developed macroporous-mesoporous-microporous hierarchical porous network structure, which provides abundant active sites for Li+ storage, significantly reduces polarization and charge transfer resistance, shortens the diffusion path and promotes the rapid transport of Li+. More specifically, the CTP-2 anode shows high charge capacity (496.9 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1), excellent rate performance (413.6 mAh g-1 even at 500 mA g-1), and high cycling stability (capacity retention rate of about 100% after 1,000 cycles at 2 A g-1). The clean and eco-friendly large-scale utilization of coal tar pitch will facilitate the development of high-performance anodes in the field of LIBs.

Glyphosate contamination: implications for honeybee Apis mellifera and consumers in Southeastern Mexico

In a study conducted from June 2021 to May 2022 in two apiaries in southeastern Mexico, levels of glyphosate residues in pollen collected by bee Apis mellifera were analyzed to assess potential risks to both bees and humans. The analysis used an immunoassay method after residue extraction using the QUECHERS method. The results revealed the presence of glyphosate in all samples, with concentrations ranging between 3.71 and 7.29 μg/kg. However, risk analysis, as indicated by the pollen hazard quotient, suggested that these quantities did not pose a serious threat to bees or humans. The levels were within acceptable limits of the acceptable daily intake (ADI), acute reference dose (ARfD) and acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL). In conclusion, although this study did not find any significant association between glyphosate and potential risks for both humans and bees, its persistence in the environment is demonstrated. Glyphosate levels at the study site were low, suggesting minimal risk to both species. However, the wide distribution of glyphosato in the region makes it necessary to emphasize long-term studies to understand the possible chronic effects of the pesticide on all species in the area.

Review of Pseudoloma neurophilia (Microsporidia): A common neural parasite of laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is now the second most used animal model in biomedical research. As with other vertebrate models, underlying diseases and infections often impact research. Beyond mortality and morbidity, these conditions can compromise research end points by producing nonprotocol induced variation within experiments. Pseudoloma neurophilia, a microsporidium that targets the central nervous system, is the most frequently diagnosed pathogen in zebrafish facilities. The parasite undergoes direct, horizontal transmission within populations, and is also maternally transmitted with spores in ovarian fluid and occasionally within eggs. This transmission explains the wide distribution among research laboratories as new lines are generally introduced as embryos. The infection is chronic, and fish apparently never recover following the initial infection. However, most fish do not exhibit outward clinical signs. Histologically, the parasite occurs as aggregates of spores throughout the midbrain and spinal cord and extends to nerve roots. It often elicits meninxitis, myositis, and myodegeneration when it infects the muscle. There are currently no described therapies for the parasite, thus the infection is best avoided by screening with PCR-based tests and removal of infected fish from a facility. Examples of research impacts include reduced fecundity, behavioral changes, transcriptome alterations, and autofluorescent lesions.

A Pleistocene Amphibian Assemblage of the Taurida Cave, Crimea

Six amphibian taxa are described within the Pleistocene vertebrate assemblage of the Taurida cave (Crimean Peninsula): Lissotriton sp., Strauchbufo raddei, Bufotes viridis, Rana cf. macrocnemis, Pelophylax ridibundus, and Pelophylax sp. The possible presence of second species of the genus Rana is suggested. Three of described species do not occur on the Crimean Peninsula currently, but apparently inhabited it during the Early Pleistocene. The ranid frogs in Crimea were taxonomically more divers in the Pleistocene than today. Strauchbufo raddei and Bufotes viridis come from different periods of sediment accumulation of the Taurida cave, during the Early Pleistocene and the late Middle Pleistocene, respectively. The presence of the Mongolian toad, Strauchbufo raddei, not previously reported from Crimea, confirms a wide distribution of this species during the Early Pleistocene of Eastern Europe. The Taurida cave represents the first Pleistocene amphibian assemblage of Crimea.

1096. Eupatorium japonicum Thunb. Compositae.: Compositae

SummaryEupatorium japonicum Thunb. (Compositae: Eupatorieae: Eupatoriinae) is described and illustrated. The current synonymy is provided, together with type citations for each of the names and statements of the located type material, together with appropriate notes and comments on this material, including lectotypifications if present in the literature. A selection of verified illustrations of the species in the literature is provided. Statements of the species' distribution, habitat and ecological preferences, phenology, conservation status, and the etymology of both generic and specific epithets are given, along with an impressive array of vernacular names, reflecting its relatively wide distribution and long cultivation. Cultivation, propagation, and availability notes are provided. The probability of this plant having been ‘exported’ to China many centuries ago both for its scent and festival significance almost mirrors that of the Chrysanthemum, that came in the opposite direction a few centuries earlier. The author citation for this well‐known Japanese endemic is discussed, as is the long‐standing confusion between E. chinense L., E. japonicum and the separation of E. fortunei Turcz. in many references. Comments on Robert Fortune's Chinese collections relevant to the type material of Eupatorium fortunei are also provided. Included within the synonymy of E. fortunei is E. stoechadosmum Hance, published in a short paper, Manipulus …, in the Annales des Sciences Naturelles, the Monitum, is dated ‘7 kal. Februar. 1863’, suggesting publication of Cahier 4 post that date when it was published. Hance's novelties (some collected as late as November 1862), and those of Triana &amp; Planchon in their Prodromus florae Novo‐Granatensis … (from Cahier 5) are listed in major databases as having been published in 1862; there is no other internal evidence in the relevant papers to suggest, or confirm, this is true. Any suggestion that Hance's Manipulis was published in early 1862 is similarly incorrect. Hance's plant supports other records, including the publication of E. fortunei Turcz., that E. japonicum had been long in cultivation in China, but never known to grow in the wild. Eupatorium japonicum, now with E. fortunei (fujibakama) in synonymy, is one of the seven plants, from the Festival of Seven Flowers or Herbs (nanakusa no sekku) that takes place in the autumn – the Autumn's Seven Flowers or Herbs (aki no nanakusa). The autumn tradition, dating back over a millennium, mirrors the spring festival (haru no nanakusa) – when a seven‐herb rice porridge is eaten – but in autumn the simplicity of the flowers is just for visual enjoyment, not eating. The herbal and medicinal uses of this species also have a long history, are wide‐ranging, and clearly have great potential in a number of fields, not least in preventing insect predation, as an insecticide, or as an ovicide, together with antifungal and antimicrobial activity, as well as showing good anti‐inflammatory and cytotoxic activity. The plants Lavender‐like smell is akin to that produced in sakuramochi (Prunus speciosa (Koidz.) Ingram, of cherry blossom fame), but is based on coumarin and its derivatives, not linalool and related volatiles in Lavandula.

Experimental error suppression in Cross-Resonance gates via multi-derivative pulse shaping

While quantum circuits are reaching impressive widths in the hundreds of qubits, their depths have not been able to keep pace. In particular, cloud computing gates on multi-qubit, fixed-frequency superconducting chips continue to hover around the 1% error range, contrasting with the progress seen on carefully designed two-qubit chips, where error rates have been pushed towards 0.1%. Despite the strong impetus and a plethora of research, experimental demonstration of error suppression on these multi-qubit devices remains challenging, primarily due to the wide distribution of qubit parameters and the demanding calibration process required for advanced control methods. Here, we achieve this goal, using a simple control method based on multi-derivative, multi-constraint pulse shaping, which acts simultaneously against multiple error sources. Our approach establishes a two to fourfold improvement on the default calibration scheme, demonstrated on four qubits on the IBM Quantum Platform with limited and intermittent access, enabling these large-scale fixed-frequency systems to fully take advantage of their superior coherence times. The achieved CNOT fidelities of 99.7(1)% on those publically available qubits come from both coherent control error suppression and accelerated gate time.
