description: Cracticus tibicen terraereginae Mathews
Cracticus tibicen terraereginae Mathews, 1912a: 372 (Queensland (Bartle Frere)).
Now Gymnorhina tibicen terraereginae (Mathews, 1912). See Amadon, 1951: 20; 1962b: 169; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 545–550; Hughes et al., 2001: 25–34; Dickinson, 2003: 463; Toon et al., 2003: 337–343; 2007: 2525–2541; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 339–340.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673046, adult male, collected on Mount Bartle Frere, 17.20S, 145.45E (Times Atlas), Queensland, Australia, on 26 May 1900, by E. Olive (no. 119). From the Mathews Collection (no. 3637) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype and gave the range of terraereginae as ‘‘North Queensland.’’ The holotype, in addition to Olive’s original label, bears a Mathews Collection label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that the specimen served as the model for Mathews (1923b: pl. 483, center fig., opp p. 337, text p. 338), where it is confirmed as the type of terraereginae. Apparently, Mathews had first intended to name the subspecies ‘‘ queenslandicus,’’ as this name is marked out on both type labels and replaced on the Rothschild type label with terraereginae.
The following specimens are paratypes: Bartle Frere, AMNH 673045 (Mathews no. 3638), males, 26 May 1900, collected by Olive; Inkerman, AMNH 673042 (2551), male, AMNH 673043 (2552), female, 5 March 1907, collected by Stalker. AMNH 673045 is not a paratype as it was in the part of the Olive collection purchased by Rothschild and was never in the Mathews Collection. Other specimens of terraereginae from north Queensland in the Mathews Collection were collected after its publication on 31 January 1912.
Mathews purchased part of Olive’s collection from H.C. Robinson, for whom Olive had made the collection (see Robinson and Laverock, 1900: 617–653). Ingram (1908b: 458–481) reported on Stalker’s collection at Inkerman.
Based on morphology, G.t. terraereginae was recognized by Schodde and Mason (1999: 545–550), but was found undifferentiated from nominate tibicen by Hughes et al. (2001) and Toon et al. (2007), based on selected DNA sequences.

description: We establish stability results for PD tracking control laws in bipedal walking robots. Stability of PD control laws for continuous robotic systems is an established result, and we extend this for hybrid robotic systems, an alternating sequence of continuous and discrete events. Bipedal robots have the leg-swing as the continuous event, and the foot-strike as the discrete event. In addition, bipeds largely have underactuations due to the interactions between feet and ground. For each continuous event, we establish that the convergence rate of the tracking error can be regulated via appropriate tuning of the PD gains; and for each discrete event, we establish that this convergence rate sufficiently overcomes the nonlinear impacts by assumptions on the hybrid zero dynamics. The main contributions are 1) Extension of the stability results of PD control laws for underactuated robotic systems, and 2) Exponential ultimate boundedness of hybrid periodic orbits under the assumption of exponential stability of their projections to the hybrid zero dynamics. Towards the end, we will validate these results in a 2-link bipedal walker in simulation.

description: Silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$) planar waveguide platform combined with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices offer a whole new generation of system-on-chip applications. Therefore, efficient coupling of an $Si_3N_4$ waveguide to an SOI waveguide is essential. We present a coupler to interface a 1.8 $μm$-wide $Si_3N_4$ waveguide to a 0.5 $μm$-wide SOI waveguide based on the focusing property of the Luneburg lens. In order to match the refractive indices of the waveguides with the edges of the lens, one side of the lens is flattened with quasi-conformal transformation optics. The designed coupler is implemented by graded photonic crystals. The three-dimensional numerical simulations indicate that the 1.93 $μm$-long coupler has an average coupling loss of 0.13 dB in the C-band.

description: This paper examined two issues. First, the hypothesis that the elderly tend to consume more fresh vegetables than other consumers because of their different food orientations, and second, a comparison of the impact of food orientations towards cut and fresh vegetables on purchasing behavior. Based on these issues, we showed the implications of promotional activities for vegetable purchases. This paper used the structural equation modeling analysis method, which can identify causal connections. The results were as follows: First, we were able to confirm the following causal connection: the elderly purchase fresh vegetables frequently because they are strongly health- and weakly convenience-oriented. Second, in the case of cut vegetables, both health-orientation, as in the case of fresh vegetables, and convenience-orientation were found to have a positive effect on purchase frequency. This study further confirmed that cut vegetables are positioned as a product matching the recent convenience-oriented trend. Based on this knowledge, encouraging young people to be more conscious about their health and to avoid being convenience-orientated, by cooking for themselves, may be useful in promoting the consumption of fresh vegetables.

description: Quantum teleportation is not merely a fascinating corollary of quantum entanglement, it also finds utility in quantum processing and circuit compilation. In this paper, we measure and track the entanglement and fidelity of two-qubit states prepared on a 127-qubit IBM Quantum device, as one of the qubits is teleported across 19 qubits. We design, evaluate and compare two distinct approaches to teleportation: post-selected measurement categorisation and dynamic circuit corrections based on mid-circuit measurements, and compare with direct state transportation using SWAP gates. By optimally choosing the teleportation path which exhibits the highest total negativity entanglement measure across nearest-neighbour pairs, we show the entanglement of a two-qubit graph state is sustained after at least 19 hops in teleportation using the post-selection approach and 17 hops using the dynamic circuit approach. We observe a higher level of teleported entanglement in paths determined from two-qubit negativities compared to those obtained from gate errors, demonstrating an advantage in using the negativity map over the gate error map for compiling quantum circuits.

description: Together is the recommended software development tool in the Atlas collaboration. The programmatic API, which provides the capability to use and augment Together's internal functionality, is comprised of three major components - IDE, RWI and SCI. IDE is a read-only interface used to generate custom outputs based on the information contained in a Together model. RWI allows to both extract and write information to a Together model. SCI is the Source Code Interface, as the name implies it allows to work at the level of the source code. Together is extended by writing modules (java classes) extensively making use of the relevant API. We exploited Together extensibility to add support for the Atlas Dictionary Language. ADL is an extended subset of OMG IDL. The implemented module (ADLModule) makes Together to support ADL keywords, enables options and generate ADL object descriptions directly from UML Class diagrams. The module thoroughly accesses a Together reverse engineered C++ project - and/or design only class diagrams - and it is general enough to allow for possibly additional HEP-specific Together tool tailoring.

description: Our research aims to explore whether visualization tools such as educational posters increase student engagement in Climate Action Plan 2030 or not. 66 participants were recruited and were randomly assigned into three conditions: poster, text, and control condition. Participants in the poster and text groups were asked to view either posters or texts related to food waste and then surveyed. In contrast, participants in the control condition were only asked to do a survey. Contrary to our hypothesis, we found that the visualization of information did not increase participants' engagement in climate change actions.

description: Continuous variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) with discrete modulation combines advantages of CVQKD, such as the implementability using readily available technologies, with advantages of discrete variable quantum key distribution, such as easier error correction procedures. We consider a prepare-and-measure CVQKD protocol, where Alice chooses from a set of four coherent states and Bob performs a heterodyne measurement, the result of which is discretised in both key and test rounds. We provide a security proof against coherent attacks in the finite-size regime, and compute the achievable key rate. To this end, we employ the generalised entropy accumulation theorem, as well as recent advances in conic optimisation, yielding improved key rates compared to previous works. At metropolitan distances, our method can provide positive key rates for the order of $10^8$ rounds.

description: We discuss a class of vertex operator algebras $\mathcal{W}_{m|n\times \infty}$ generated by a super-matrix of fields for each integral spin $1,2,3,\dots$. The algebras admit a large family of truncations that are in correspondence with holomorphic functions on the Calabi-Yau singularity given by solutions to $xy=z^mw^n$. We propose a free-field realization of such truncations generalizing the Miura transformation for $\mathcal{W}_N$ algebras. Relations in the ring of holomorphic functions lead to bosonization-like relations between different free-field realizations. The discussion provides a concrete example of a non-trivial interplay between vertex operator algebras, algebraic geometry and gauge theory.

description: PTFO 8-8695b (CVSO 30b) is a young planet candidate whose host star is a $\sim$ 2.6 Myr-old T-Tauri star, and there have been continuous discussions about the nature of this system. To unveil the mystery of this system, we observed PTFO8-8695 for around five years at optical and infrared bands simultaneously using Kanata telescope at the Higashi-Hiroshima Observatory. Through our observations, we found that the reported fading event split into two: deeper but phase-shifted "dip-A" and shallower but equiphase "dip-B". These dips disappeared at different epochs, and then, dip-B reappeared. Based on the observed wavelength dependence of dip depths, a dust clump and a precessing planet are likely origins of dip-A and B, respectively. Here we propose "a precessing planet associated with a dust cloud" scenario for this system. This scenario is consistent with the reported change in the depth of fading events, and even with the reported results, which were thought to be negative evidence to the planetary hypothesis, such as the past non-detection of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. If this scenario is correct, this is the third case of a young (<3 Myr) planet around a pre-main sequence star. This finding implies that a planet can be formed within a few Myr.

description: Research has provided robust evidence for the use of GPS as the new, scalable gold-standard in land area measurement in household surveys. Nonetheless, facing budget constraints, survey agencies often measure with GPS only plots within a given radius of dwelling locations. It is, subsequently, common for significant shares of plots not to be measured, and research has highlighted the selection biases resulting from using incomplete data. This study relies on nationally-representative, multi-topic household survey data from Malawi and Ethiopia with near-negligible missingness in GPS-based plot areas to validate the accuracy of a Multiple Imputation (MI) model for predicting missing GPS-based plot areas in household surveys. The analysis randomly creates missingness among plots beyond two operationally-relevant distance measures from the dwelling locations, conducts MI for each artificially-created dataset, and compares the distributions of the imputed plot-level outcomes, namely area and agricultural productivity, with the distributions of their true, observed counterparts. MI procedure results in imputed yields that are statistically undistinguishable from the true distributions with up to 82% and 56% missingness, respectively for Malawi and Ethiopia, for plots located more than 1 kilometer away from dwellings. The study highlights the promise of using MI for reliably predicting missing GPS-based plot areas.

Lucidota

description: Lucidota Laporte, 1833 (Figure 4 O, P)
 Lucidota has a long-standing history of taxonomic issues and comprises very different species. The only unifying character in this genus is antenna length longer than half the body size. (McDermott 1964). Therefore, it is not possible to provide a rigorous diagnosis to Lucidota, as the determination of this genus is usually ‘ by elimination ’. We recognised five species groups at the Serra dos Órgãos (discussed below) to help species sorting, even though these species groups probably do not represent natural groups. Several valid generic names are currently lumped under Lucidota, and many of the species currently listed under this genus will very likely be reclassified after a thorough phylogenetic analysis. Immature stages have been described for a single species, Lucidota atra, in the Nearctic region (Branham and Archangelsky, 2000). Sexual dimorphism is generally subtle, although it can be more pronounced in the antenna, which is longer in males. A total of 19 species have been collected at the Serra dos Órgãos. Two of them could be identified, and their diagnostic characteristics are given below. The other 17 are putative new species, and further studies are necessary to delineate the taxonomy of these species.

description: Dirac-Born-Infeld type effective actions reproduce many aspects of string theory classical tachyon dynamics of unstable Dp-branes. The inhomogeneous tachyon field rolling from the top of its potential forms topological defects of lower codimensions. In between them, as we show, the tachyon energy density fragments into a p-dimensional web-like high density network evolving with time. We present an analytic asymptotic series solution of the non-linear equations for the inhomogeneous tachyon and its stress energy. The generic solution for a tachyon field with a runaway potential in arbitrary dimensions is described by the free streaming of noninteracting massive particles whose initial velocities are defined by the gradients of the initial tachyon profile. Thus, relativistic particle mechanics is a dual picture of the tachyon field effective action. Implications of this picture for inflationary models with a decaying tachyon field are discussed.

description: What is the optimal size and composition of Rural Savings and Credit Cooperatives (RuSACCOs)? With these broader questions in mind, we characterize alternative formation of RuSACCOs and their implications in improving rural households access to financial services, including savings, credit and insurance services. We find that some features of RuSACCOs have varying implications for delivering various financial services (savings, credit and insurance). We find that the sizes of RuSACCOs have nonlinear and varying implications across the various financial services that RuSACCOs provide. We also show that compositional heterogeneity among members (including diversity in wealth) is associated with higher access to credit services, while this has little (no) implication on households savings behavior. Similarly, strong social cohesion among members is strongly associated with higher access to financial services, particularly savings and credit access. These empirical characterizations suggest that the optimal size and composition of RuSACCOs may vary across the domains of financial services they are meant to provide. The results provide some insights into rural microfinancing operations and saving cooperatives which are striving to satisfy members demand for financial services.

It is established, that temporal processes are classified into three categories in view of their influence on a system’s functional state. They are single (1), repeating (2) and cyclic (3). It is also established, that presence of large number of temporal processes within a system requires an individual approach to their control. Temporal processes alignment method is developed consisting of six fundamental provisions: 1) with none additional restrictions the attraction point falls within the time interval of either of temporal processes; 2) temporal processes’ shifting does not involve additional expenditures if it does not generate extra temporal process within the time interval under review; 3) with increased system’s stoppage costs the attraction points tend to areas of the system’s forced stoppage and increase noticeably their attracting features; 4) attraction area is determined by an area where all the not repeating temporal processes are located; 5) in the course of alignment of temporal processes involving reduction of the number of system’s stoppages there is always a limit expenditures value justifying such an alignment; 6) alignment of temporal processes running within relative attraction zone may be implemented providing meeting the conditions. These provisions construe a basis to take a decision about possibility and feasibility of their alignment. It is identified, that one of essential parameters of the processes’ alignment is a choice of a proper time for their alignment. An algorithm is offered based on the developed method enabling to implement temporal processes alignment procedure depending on data processing systems’ resources to reduce substantially chance of error in adopting a decision in complicated systems’ management

Gymnorhina tibicen longirostris Hartert, 1905: 230 (Nullagine, N.W. Australia).
Now Gymnorhina tibicen longirostris Milligan, 1903. See Hartert, 1920: 454; Amadon, 1951: 20; 1962b: 169; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 545– 550; Dickinson, 2003: 463; Russell and Rowley, 2009: 339–340; and Kearns et al., 2013.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673039, adult male, collected at Nullagine, 21.53S, 120.06E (USBGN, 1957), Western Australia, Australia, on 16 April 1901, by J.T. Tunney (no. R. 92). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as the holotype Tunney’s specimen no. R. 92 and noted that he had one additional specimen. Paratype: Nullagine, AMNH 673040, adult male, 16 April 1901, collected by Tunney (no. R. 93).
Hartert inadvertently and by coincidence applied the same name to this population as had been given it by Milligan (1903: 96) earlier. Russell and Rowley (2009: 339–340) included the species tibicen in the broad genus Cracticus on the basis of molecular studies, but I have continued to recognize the conventional genus Gymnorhina pending the results of further molecular investigations.

description: This paper analyzes whether rural households use labor allocation to mitigate the effect of drought shocks in the Northeaster Brazilian context. We first document that water scarcity leads to lower income derived from farm work as main, and higher income from secondary jobs. We then examine the extent to which extreme droughts affect time labor allocation. Our results indicate that an additional drought shock per year is associated with greater likelihood of have more than one job, lower share of farm activities in the total hours worked, and higher share of secondary job. The effects are higher for poorer municipalities. These findings are consistent with a mitigation response to reduced agricultural profitability due to water scarcity.

description: We, along with our client, the SEEDS sustainability program at UBC, were primarily interested in possible labelling initiatives that can be implemented quickly to encourage students to consume climate-friendly foods. Specifically, we wanted to determine whether a simple, image-based label or a complex, text-based label would be more effective at encouraging students to choose climate-friendly foods. We were also interested in whether the inclusion of positive descriptive social norms may further influence students’ food choices when presented with either aforementioned label. We hypothesized that an image-based label would nudge more participants to choose the climate-friendly food item than a text-based label. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the inclusion of a positive descriptive norm would nudge an even greater amount of participants to choose the climate-friendly food item, enhancing the effectiveness of an image-based label. To test our hypothesis, 112 participants were randomly exposed to one of five conditions: control, image-based label, text-based label, image-based label with a positive descriptive social norm, or text-based label with a positive descriptive social norm. Our results do not provide support for our hypothesis, however, we recommend further research on the potential interaction between label type and the use of social norms.

description: The degree to which a pure quantum state is entangled can be characterized by the distance or angle to the nearest unentangled state. This geometric measure of entanglement, already present in a number of settings (see Shimony 1995 and Barnum and Linden 2001), is explored for bipartite and multipartite pure and mixed states. The measure is determined analytically for arbitrary two-qubit mixed states and for generalized Werner and isotropic states, and is also applied to certain multipartite mixed states. In particular, a detailed analysis is given for arbitrary mixtures of three-qubit GHZ, W and inverted-W states. Along the way, we point out connections of the geometric measure of entanglement with entanglement witnesses and with the Hartree approximation method.

description: The dispersal of organisms controls structure and dynamics of populations and communities, and can regulate ecosystem functioning. Predicting dispersal patterns across scale is important to understand microbial life in heterogeneous porous environments such as soils and sediments. We developed a multi-scale approach, combining experiments with microfluidic devices and time-lapse microscopy to track individual bacterial trajectories and measure the overall breakthrough curves and bacterial deposition profiles: we, then, linked the two scales with a novel stochastic model. We show that motile cells of Pseudomonas putida disperse more efficiently, than non-motile mutant, through a designed heterogeneous porous system. Motile cells can evade flow-imposed trajectories, enabling them to explore larger pore areas than non-motile cells. While transported, in response to hydrodynamic shear, cells exhibited a rotation: however, motile cells are less susceptible to the torque, maintaining their body oriented towards flow direction and thus changing the population velocity distribution with a significant impact on the overall transport properties. We also found, in a separate set of experiments, that if the suspension flows through a porous system already colonized by a biofilm, P. putida cells are channelized in preferential flow paths and cell attachment rate is increased. These two effects were more pronounced for non-motile than for motile cells. Our findings suggest that motility coupled with heterogeneous flows can be beneficial to motile bacteria in confined environments as it enables them to actively explore space for resources or evade from regions with unfavourable conditions. Our study also underlines the benefit of a multi-scale approach to the study of bacterial dispersal in porous systems.
