Discovery of Specialist Beech-Feeding Underwing Moths From Taiwan (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Catocalinae) and Its Implication to Biodiversity Conservation of Taiwan Beech Forests

Abstract Deciduous Beech (Fagus spp.) forests have a highly disjunct distribution in the Northern Hemisphere, with greatest diversity in eastern Asia. Although Fagus supports a rich phytophagous insect fauna, the diversity, composition, and host specialization of insects associated with these trees in Asia are less well known compared with Europe and North America. For instance, two species of Catocala moths, both considered endemic to Japan, were previously known as the only beech-feeding specialists of this genus. However, two Catocala species were recently discovered from Taiwan during a survey of phytophagous insects on Taiwan Beech Fagus hayatae, a threatened plant. Identification of these two species of moths was determined by mtDNA (COI barcodes), adult morphology, including wing pattern and genitalia, and biology. Based on these multiple sources of evidence, we conclude that one species represents an undescribed species and the other a new subspecies of a species previously known only from mainland China. The taxonomic treatments in the present work include Catocala seiohbo sanctocula Hsu & Huang, subsp. nov., C. nimbosa Hsu & Wang, sp. nov. and C. nubila ohshimai, stat. nov. In Taiwan, Catocala spp. occur mainly in large, undisturbed patches of Taiwan Beech forest and are codependent on F. hayatae. Thus, they are not only considered to be at risk of co-extinction, but may serve as potential indicator species to monitor the extent and health of this threatened ecological community.
SnSe: a remarkable new thermoelectric material

The deceptively simple material SnSe has surprised the scientific community by showing an unexpectedly low thermal conductivity and high power factor and it has become a very promising thermoelectric material. Both the electrical and thermal transport properties of SnSe are outstanding. It is remarkable that a binary compound exhibits strong anharmonic and anisotropic bonding, and after hole doping it shows an exceptionally high power factor because of a high electrical conductivity and a strongly enhanced Seebeck coefficient. The latter is enabled by the contribution of multiple electronic valence bands. In this perspective, we discuss the natural features of SnSe, including crystal structures, electronic band structures, and physical and chemical properties. We also compare the electrical transport properties of single crystals and polycrystalline SnSe. The thermal conductivities of polycrystalline samples show wide variation from laboratory to laboratory, with some values being higher than those of single crystals and some lower, which has caused confusion and controversy. To address the issues regarding the thermal transport properties of SnSe, we systematically summarize the reports for SnSe variants, discuss them along with some of our own new results, and offer possible explanations. Finally, some possible strategies are proposed toward future enhancements of the thermoelectric figure of merit of SnSe.
Semiochemical-Based Attractant for the Ambrosia Pinhole Borer Euplatypus parallelus

A semiochemical-based attractant for Euplatypus parallelus was identified and field-tested. Analyses of headspace volatile extracts of conspecific males revealed the presence of 1-hexanol along with lesser amounts of 3-methyl-1-butanol, hexyl acetate, 1-octanol and trans-geraniol, which were not found in equivalent extracts from females. Emission of 1-hexanol coincided with the emergence of adults of both sexes during afternoon hours. A synthetic blend of these compounds, with and without ethanol, was tested in the field. The blend alone attracted a small number of females and no males. Ethanol alone attracted a small number of females (not significantly different from the blend alone) but significantly more males than the blend alone. More females were caught with the blend combined with ethanol than the combined catch of either attractant alone, suggesting a synergistic interaction. Attraction of males appeared to be a response to ethanol alone. During the trials, two potential natural enemies of E. parallelus were caught, indicating that they might be eavesdropping on the semiochemical channels of their prey. Traps containing the male-specific volatile compounds combined with ethanol could be applied as an effective attractant for detection and monitoring of E. parallelus as well as for recruitment of its natural enemies.

Modeling crowd emotion from emergent event video

In emergency situation, mass panic often causes more causalities than the disaster itself. The crowd emotional model could be used to simulate how crowd behavior in emergency scenarios and be helpful for developing crowd evacuation plans in emergency situations. However, existing crowd emotional models usually set model parameters in an empirical manner and are not validated by real cases. In this paper, a crowd emotional model is proposed to simulate the crowd movement in outdoor emergency situations. First of all, the crowd entropy and the movement difference are proposed to describe the emotional impact of the crowd scene on the agents. The perception of vision and hearing are considered, and the calculation formulas of the agent's emotional intensity and crowd emotional contagion are proposed. By calculating individual trajectories in the real video, the cumulative differences between the movements of the real crowd and the corresponding virtual crowd are analyzed. At last, a multi‐parameter optimization method is implemented by the differential evolution algorithm. To verify the parameters in models, three videos which are generated from three real cases, including explosion attack, shooting incident, and crowd disturbance are selected for experimental verification. The results showed that the proposed model could be a feasible method for optimizing parameters to simulate the emergency scenario.
Be-Ozr: An Efficient Available Bandwidth Estimation In Ieee802.11E Network

In wireless network, the support for Quality of Service (QoS) depends on the ability of a network to estimate the available bandwidth of a link effectively and efficiently. Due to the shared nature of the wireless medium, there has been challenges in achieving an accurate measurement of the available bandwidth. This paper therefore proposes an efficient available bandwidth estimation approach that improves the accuracy of previously proposed approach for accurate measurement. The approach used in this paper is to passively estimate the available bandwidth, where the maximum range of the channel idle time measurement used in the calculation is re-defined to address the outer zone range threshold (OZR). This limits the under-estimation and over-estimation of bandwidth measurement. The proposed approach used limits the network overhead and achieves accuracy and efficiency. Results obtained from the simulation shows how our proposed approach out-performs the state-of the-art approach in terms of throughput and delay, using the IEEE802.11e. We have been able to achieve 8% improvement in accuracy and efficiency when compared with the best of the state-of-the-art available bandwidth estimation technique.

Design and Implementation of Tracking a user’s Behavior in a Smart Home

A smart home is automated structures with control contraptions and presented area; it comes with advanced sensing and automation systems to supply the inhabitants with monitoring and management no matter if they are in the home or outside. In light of the developments that are taking place in the smart home, machine learning, and the needs of the home, which makes the appropriate decisions based on the user’s behavior of the smart home, and the use of development in technology to facilitate the general requirements of people. Modern smart home systems tend to be standalone solutions that focus on lifestyle needs using a smart control system, such as lighting and temperature control. Ubiquitous home expects the emergence where sophisticated (Ambient intelligent) systems monitor and learn user’s behavior and lifestyles and enable the home to predict and respond to all the needs and activities of home occupants. During perception, residents perform their daily routine while the in-house embedded sensors transmit and store the readings in a database. By doing so, the intelligent agent uses these readings to generate knowledge, such as patterns and trends. Thus, it can predict based on the built knowledge to enable the smart home to identify and automate the action that meets the occupants’ aims.

Effect Evaluation of a Peer-Delivered School-Based Intervention Promoting Healthy Dietary and Physical Activity Behaviours Among Secondary Vocational Students

This study examines the effectiveness of the peer-delivered, school-based intervention Healthy by Design (HbD). Data were collected in two cross-sectional surveys before and after invention implementation. In total 1,177 vocational students (before: 557, after: 620) participated in an online health behaviour survey. Multilevel logistic and multilevel linear models explored the effect of the intervention over time and the effect of the intervention dose received on (determinants of) dietary of physical activity behaviours. A significant positive effect over time was found for moderate intensity physical activity. A high intervention dose was positively associated with increased water, breakfast and fruit consumption and higher levels of moderate and vigorous physical activity compared to no intervention dose received. A moderate and high intervention dose was negatively associated with high calorie snacks consumption compared to no intervention dose received. Effects of HbD on the investigated dietary and physical activity behaviours over time are limited, but these effects may be hard to demonstrate and link to the intervention due to the nature of the intervention design and the natural school-setting of this quasi-experimental study. However, a higher intervention dose showed a strong relation with healthier dietary and physical activity behaviours.
The experience of delivering ‘Rehabilitative Adjudications’ in English prisons

ABSTRACT The study examined the experience of delivering Rehabilitative Adjudications (RAs), a concept which explicitly integrates rehabilitative skills and procedural justice principles within a traditional disciplinary process for responding to rule-breaking in prison. Based on interviews with ten adjudicators, seven themes were identified. Overall, perceptions of RAs were positive, perceived to be a more constructive, rehabilitative, engaging and hopeful way to respond to rule-breaking, and in keeping with efforts to develop a wider rehabilitative prison culture. Existing adjudicator skills were reinforced through the training, and others developed for additional application in practice. A number of recommendations are made for organisations or prisons looking to adopt a RA approach, including suggestions to overcoming barriers that participants faced during the trial.
Significance of exponential space‐based heat source and inclined magnetic field on heat transfer of hybrid nanoliquid with homogeneous–heterogeneous chemical reactions

Many chemical reactive methods, like combustion, catalysis, and biochemical involve homogeneous–heterogeneous chemical reaction (HHCR). The collaboration among the heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions is exceedingly multifarious, including the creation and depletion both within the liquid and catalytic surfaces. Here, we observe the influences of Cu and Al2O3 nanoparticles past an elongating sheet under HHCR. An inclined magnetic field with an acute angle is applied to the direction of the flow. Further, radiative heat, temperature, and exponential space‐based heat source aspects are modifying the thermal equation. The governing nonlinear equations are deciphered by utilizing the Runge–Kutta‐based shooting method. It is found that HHCR reduces the solute layer thickness, whereas the increase in the angle of inclination of applied magnetism thickens momentum layer thickness.
Diversity, Ecology and Therapeutic Properties of the Medicinal Plants in Ziban Region (Algeria)

With the aim to assess the floristic population diversity, distribution and therapeutic properties in the Ziban region (Algeria), a survey was conducted along two successive study years in the main area. The objective of this study was to contribute to the knowledge and description of this plant groups with exhaustive inventory spontaneous vegetation. In order to study the dynamics of medicinal plants, we used a quantitative method based essentially on the classic technique of linear surveys and floristic inventory using the minimum area method. The results showed that the floristic procession of medicinal plants is represented by 21 species belonging to the 13 families, with a total of 31 species for the 08 study stations, which represents 68% of the total procession. The results obtained showed that the overall recovery is higher at the Ain Ben Noui station with 69%, even if the clumps of Aristida pungens, Atractylis serratuloides and Atriplexhalimus are isolated and scattered. The lowest overall coverage at the Oumache station is less than 21%, as it is an area with sandy soils. The species that contribute most to the recovery of mobile sand accumulations is Astragalus armatus with a rate of 76.19% at the Ain Ben Noui station. Frequency results allowed us to say that Atriplex halimus and Zizyphus lotus are the ubiquitous species (100% of the surveys). On the other hand, Nitraria retusa, Teucrium polium, Shismus barbatus, Sueda mollis and Halocnemum strobilaceum are the species present in only one survey.
Using intervention mapping to develop and facilitate implementation of a multifaceted behavioural intervention targeting physical activity and sedentary behaviour in stroke survivors: Physical Activity Routines After Stroke (PARAS): intervention development study

ABSTRACT Objectives The benefits of increased physical activity for stroke survivors include improved function and mental health and wellbeing. However, less than 30% achieve recommended physical activity levels, and high levels of sedentary behaviour are reported. We developed a multifaceted behavioural intervention (and accompanying implementation plan) targeting physical activity and sedentary behaviour of stroke survivors. Design Intervention Mapping facilitated intervention development. Step 1 involved a systematic review, focus group discussions and a review of care pathways. Step 2 identified social cognitive determinants of behavioural change and behavioural outcomes. Step 3 linked determinants of behavioural outcomes with specific behaviour change techniques (BCTs) to target behaviours of interest. Step 4 involved intervention development informed by steps 1–3. Subsequently, an implementation plan was developed (Step 5) followed by an evaluation plan (Step 6). Setting Community and secondary care settings, North East England. Participants Stroke survivors and healthcare professionals (HCPs) working in stroke services. Results Systematic review findings informed selection of nine ‘promising’ BCTs (e.g. problem-solving). Focus groups with stroke survivors (n = 18) and HCPs (n = 24) identified the need for an intervention delivered throughout the rehabilitation pathway, tailored to individual needs with training for HCPs delivering the intervention. Intervention delivery was considered feasible within local stroke services. The target behaviours for the intervention were levels of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in adult stroke survivors. Assessment of acceptability and usability with 11 HCPs and 21 stroke survivors/relatives identified issues with self-monitoring tools and the need for a physical activity repository of local services’ and training for HCPs with feedback on intervention delivery. A feasibility study protocol was designed to evaluate the intervention. Conclusions A systematic development process using intervention mapping resulted in a multi-faceted evidence- and theory-informed intervention (Physical Activity Routines After Stroke – PARAS) for delivery by community stroke rehabilitation teams.
